The 2020 Standards of Medical Care include some notable updates related to patient-centered care and the use of glucose-lowering agents
Unlike, GLP-1 and Gcg, GIP is not derived from preproglucagon and does not cause a reduction in body weight (Baggio and Drucker, 2007)
Prolonged homeostatic disruption impairs protein degradation processes, weakens molecular chaperone capacity, fosters inflammation, and incites mitochondrial damage through ROS/Ca 2+ , potentially affecting the follicular microenvironment and oocyte developmental potential [332, 333]
In the foundational animal study, even doses 200x above the effective GH-releasing dose did not elevate cortisol, demonstrating true selectivity rather than mere dose separation
SGLT2 inhibitors exert multiple effects, including activating autophagy and suppressing pyroptosis and ferroptosis, to mitigate tubular injury and kidney damage (119, 156, 205, 206)
