Changes in eating behavior after horizontal gastroplasty and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
I take a little comfort that GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone, although we are giving it as a peptide and now as a small molecule orally, so it's not a compound that's foreign to the body, although at higher doses in individuals
It plays a critical role in neutralising free radicals, supporting liver detoxification, modulating melanin synthesis, and maintaining overall cellular health
It may also serve as a more effective oral GLP-1 than Rybelsus the other current oral GLP-1 for treating diabetes
Because semaglutide is a peptide (aka a small protein), the stomach is naturally programmed to digest it like food
