When food is ingested, the human body releases a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which instigates the release of insulin in hyperglycemic states, reduces glucagon secretion in hyperglycemic or euglycemic (normal) states, and also slows stomach emptying, all of which modulate glucose homeostasis (2)
However, due to concerns for safety, quality, and effectiveness of compounded GLP1RAs, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has issued guidance recommending switching individuals to different FDA-approved medications to achieve and maintain individualized glucose-lowering, weight management, and/or cardiovascular and kidney risk reduction goals when supply or access is limited [75]
Similarly, 12 weeks of aerobic and resistance training increased NAMPT levels in skeletal muscle
