Structural and molecular differences include: Amino acid composition : Semaglutide contains specific substitutions that confer DPP-4 resistance, whereas native GLP-1 is rapidly cleaved by this ubiquitous enzyme Albumin binding : The fatty acid side chain attached to lysine at position 26 in semaglutide enables prolonged circulation through albumin binding, a property absent in natural GLP-1 Molecular stability : Structural modifications protect semaglutide from enzymatic degradation and renal clearance that rapidly eliminate native GLP-1 From a clinical perspective, natural GLP-1 cannot be administered as a therapeutic agent due to its extremely short half-life, which would require continuous intravenous infusion for sustained effect
Reducing Oxidative Stress Studies indicate that oxidative stress is linked to various chronic conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease (Smith et al., 2020)
