Low-impact exercise and physical therapy to encourage circulation and collagen remodeling
Abstract Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), initially developed for type 2 diabetes and obesity, have evolved into multi-organ potential therapeutics due to their pleiotropic effects beyond glycemic control
However, the relationship is the opposite for weight loss, with more weight loss observed with long-acting GLP-1RAs despite the lesser effect of these drugs on gastric emptying
Both insulin and LONG R 3 IGF-I, a more potent supplement that directly targets and activates the IGF-I receptor, are employed by the biopharmaceutical industry today to support the growth of recombinant cell lines
In a recent study, administration of exendin-4, a long-acting GLP-1RA, stimulated -cell proliferation in juvenile human islets by inducing gene expressions of calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) signaling, a proliferating factor such as NFATC1, and a cell cycle regulator such as cyclin A1 [57]
