Some studies have suggested that it may improve heart health, brain function, and immune function
a , Overlay of a single confocal slice, with signals for VAPB (green), GLP-1R (yellow), mitochondria (magenta), and DAPI (blue) shown, and corresponding single slice of an EM tomogram following CLEM analysis of exendin-4 (Ex-4)-stimulated INS-1 832/3 SNAP/FLAG-hGLP-1R cells
Phase 1 heart rate averaged +10.3 bpm over 8 days, with a higher peak around day 5
Sections were mounted in ProLong Gold antifade reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and analyzed using confocal laser scanning microscopy (LSM 510 META and LSM 780, Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany)
Among GLP-1 users, the 18-month risk of ION was about 8.5 cases per 10,000 people, compared with 5.5 cases per 10,000 among patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors
