Discovery and pharmacology of the covalent GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) allosteric modulator BETP: A novel tool to probe GLP-1R pharmacology
Dihexa binds with high affinity to HGF and both dihexa and its parent compound Norleucine 1-AngIV induce c-Met phosphorylation in the presence of subthreshold concentrations of HGF and augment HGF-dependent cell scattering
For people who've struggled to lose weight, GLP-1 medications may seem like a lifeline, especially after seeing dramatic results from celebrities on drugs like Wegovy or Zepbound, which are approved for weight loss, whereas others like Ozempic and Mounjaro primarily treat diabetes
However, studies have shown that retinal layer thickness is significantly lower in pwIIH compared to healthy controls, meaning that axonal loss is more widespread than previously suspected, and also occurs in apparently effectively treated pwIIH and/or patients not reporting any visual disturbances at all [35]
