Mechanistically, dulaglutide downregulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-3 and MMP-13) and aggrecanases, protecting the articular extracellular matrix [50]
Practical Application Emphasize complete proteins: Fish, poultry, eggs, Greek yogurt Plant protein combinations: Legumes + grains for complete amino acid profile Moderate BCAA intake: Avoid excessive leucine-heavy supplements Distribute protein evenly: 25-30g per meal rather than one large serving Combine protein with fiber to slow amino acid absorption Include omega-3 rich protein sources (fatty fish) when possible Pair protein with polyphenol-rich vegetables Strategy 4: Exercise and DPP-4 Activity The Science: Physical activity influences DPP-4 in complex ways
