Data represent means SEM
I also cant talk about GLP-1s without acknowledging this truth: Access to obesity treatment is deeply unequal
What do these trial results mean in practical terms
Innovation leads to safer, smarter drugs and real-world support tools
Clinical trial data from the NEJM Phase 2 study showed that gastrointestinal events were predominantly mild to moderate, occurred primarily during dose escalation, and were partially mitigated by starting at 2mg rather than 4mg
In addition, the GLP-1 can inhibit postprandial gastric emptying and reduce gastric acid secretion, inhibit gastric and duodenal peristalsis by inhibiting vagus nerve, and increase the pressure of pylorus, thus reducing appetite, causing a reduction in body weight and participating in the so-called ileal braking effect (19, 35)
