These benefits were consistent regardless of CPAP use, supporting GLP-1 RAs as a promising adjunct in the management of OSA
The reasons vary from genetic factors affecting receptor sensitivity to metabolic conditions that override GLP-1 signaling to undiagnosed medical issues masking the medication effects
In theory, this could mean: Strong appetite control Better fat-loss signaling Improved recovery Help preserving lean mass during weight loss IMPORTANT: This combo involves prescription-only and in some cases experimental medications
