However, the weight loss observed in the SELECT study (9.4%) was lower than that seen in previous STEP studies.23 The study design, which was not focused on obesity, may have influenced the lower-than-expected weight reduction, which did not parallel the trend in MACE reduction
Similar to K cells, L cells also express the Galinin receptor, GAL 1 , and its activation via Galinin treatment or GAL 1 agonist (M617) treatment prevents the accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in L cells within primary duodenal cultures in response to the adenylyl cyclase activator, forskolin and inhibits GLP-1 secretion from primary duodenal and ileal cultures (Psichas et al., 2016)
If you qualify and a GLP-1 medication is prescribed, your clinician will help you start at the right dose, monitor your response, and make thoughtful adjustments along the way
