[1] [6] The proposed mechanisms linking these therapies to gallbladder complications include altered gallbladder motility and bile composition changes
A mitochondrial enzyme CARS2 generates cysteine persulfide from cysteine, which is regarded as one of the major processes for production of persulfides, i.e., molecular species containing more than one sulfur atoms in thiol moiety
At the same time, Akt phosphorylates and inactivates forkhead box O (FoxO), thereby inhibit the responsible for proteolysis ubiquitin ligases: muscle-specific RING finger-1 (MuRF-1) and muscle atrophy F-box protein (atrogin-1), (for review see [27,28,29])
Gallbladder Issues: Ozempic use has been associated with gallbladder inflammation and gallstone formation, prompting specific warnings due to changes in bile composition and cholesterol metabolism
