Of note, GBM 2012.2 cells showed higher basal levels of aspartate compared to 1919 GBM cells, which could explain their sensitivity to the blockage of aspartate by combining sertraline and chloroquine treatment (Figure S4)
A recent head-to-head trial of the peptide drugs found that Lillys tirzepatide, which targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, produced greater average weight reductions than Novos semaglutide which targets only GLP-1
Specifically, GLP-1 and GIP are cleaved into two biologically inactive forms, GLP-1 937 (or GLP-1 936 ) and GIP 342

Specifically, the patients were asked How fatigued have you been on average during the past week on a scale of 0 10, zero meaning as badly fatigued as you can imagine and 10 meaning not fatigued at all (translated from Finnish)
The biomarker changes were shown to correspond with endpoints such as improved gait and body composition
