Disease modification, actually slowing the underlying degenerative process, would be transformative
While GLP-1 and GIP receptor activation primarily reduce energy intake through appetite suppression and delayed gastric emptying, glucagon receptor activation continues to drive energy expenditure through thermogenesis and hepatic fat oxidation regardless of whether caloric intake has already decreased
NMDA receptors are associated with glutamate, an essential excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, while GABA receptors are linked to inhibitory neurotransmission, which is considered crucial for reducing neural activity and inducing a relaxed state
Decide whether to continue, adjust, or discontinue based on evidence of response
Genetic inactivation of hypoxia inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1alpha) in adult hippocampal progenitors impairs neurogenesis and pattern discrimination learning
