Do stay consistent
These peptides, which include glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and GLP1, are responsible for the incretin effect, which explains why the stimulus for insulin release is stronger upon receiving an oral glucose load, rather than an intravenous one.40,41 Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is the protein that cleaves and inactivates GLP-1 and GIP in a few minutes,40 thus the medications that inhibit said aminopeptidase increase the circulating levels of the incretins, enabling the stimulation of glucose-dependent insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets, through membrane receptors in the cells, to persist.41 Sitagliptin, linagliptin, saxagliptin, vildagliptin, and alogliptin, among others, belong to the group of DPP-4 inhibitors (iDDP-4)
Further studies have reported that exposure to GHRP-2 in laboratory settings may induce a significant increase in peak GH levels, mean pulsatile GH secretion by the anterior pituitary gland cells, and may potentially upregulate mediators of GHs anabolic actions such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1): In one trial, GHRP-2 was suggested to induce up to 181-fold higher spike in GH production by the anterior pituitary gland cells
However, lack of response to RSL3 treatment in non-mutant TPC-1 cells does not strongly support Txnrd1 role in DNA damage induced by RSL3 treatment
"It feels like 1 in 10 women having PCOS should be enough to move the needle on what gets covered with insurance, but it is a messy system." For those who can afford to pay out-of-pocket costs, GLP-1s are worth it, Adaya says
