Enhanced Muscle Repair and Growth: Following strenuous exercise or muscle tears, HGH and its downstream partner IGF-1 are critical for stimulating muscle protein synthesis
Several GLP-1 agonists are part of this program, including: Exenatide: Results from a large, phase 2 trial in 2017 suggested that exenatide may slow Parkinsons progression
Lean proteins including fish, poultry, and plant-based options also stimulate GLP-1 secretion when consumed as part of balanced meals
There is a paucity in the literature of papers addressing molecular mechanisms of new peptide polyagonists and extending these to preclinical and clinical data
