Semaglutide was significantly associated with a lower rate of nonfatal stroke ( P = 0.04) and a numerically but non-significantly lower rate of nonfatal MI
MC1R activation by MT-1 drives cAMP-PKA signalling that upregulates nucleotide excision repair enzymes, reduces cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer formation following UV challenge, activates antioxidant defence pathways, and suppresses UV-induced inflammatory cytokine production through NF-B inhibition
has dropped to 37% in 2025, down from nearly 40% in 2022, coinciding with increased GLP-1 use
