However, the physiological half-life of GLP-1 in circulation is very short (less than 2 min), which can be attributed to both rapid proteolytic cleavage of the amide bond of alanine at position 8 (Ala8) in the N-terminus by ubiquitous dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), which results in the removal of the two N-terminal amino acids leading to the formation of a truncated inactive form 10,11 and clearance by the kidney as well
Antioxidants, like vitamin E, help defend your cells against the oxidative stress caused by sunlight, pollution, and stress
Eat slowly and mindfully: GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, so eating too quickly can cause discomfort
Additionally, digital tools and remote monitoring platforms, such as those discussed on eHealthcare Solutions, can support ongoing patient engagement
