While the trial was not designed to formally disentangle weight lossmediated vs weightindependent mechanisms, the magnitude and durability of weight loss likely play a substantial role in risk modification. Clinicians should note that in SELECT, treatment discontinuation due to adverse events was 16% on semaglutide vs 8% on placebo, largely driven by GI events
Which peptide causes more side effects, CJC 1295 or Ipamorelin
Recent studies have shown that GLP-1(936) is particularly effective at low glucose concentrations, with its inhibitory effect being similar to that of GLP-1(7-36).241 GLP-1(936) retains its ability to inhibit glucagon secretion even after GLP-1R inactivation, suggesting that its mechanism of action may not be entirely dependent on the GLP-1R.241 GLP-1(936) promotes the undocking of secretory granules (SG) by inhibiting the entry of Ca2+ through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels
no serious drug-related events in pivotal studies
