The proposed mechanisms include weight loss itself, improved insulin signaling, lower systemic inflammation, and possibly direct effects on GLP-1 receptors expressed by some cancer cells
Protein intake should reach 1.0-1.2 grams per pound of body weight daily
SELECT (n=17,604, established CVD with overweight/obesity, no diabetes): MACE composite 6.5% vs 8.0% , HR 0.80 (95% CI 0.720.90), mean ~40 months [3]
(Torbey, 2019) [2] Phenobarbital may increase the risk of valproic acid-induced hyperammonemia (as a result of hepatic enzyme induction by phenobarbital)
The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality and has issued warnings against their use
The biological mechanism underlying the rodent findings involves GLP-1 receptor stimulation on thyroid C-cells, which produce calcitonin
