Future research should focus on improving study quality, standardizing methodologies, the adoption of a standard outcome measure, and expanding representation to improve our understanding of the efficacy and safety of AOMs in this region
They work by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite
Interestingly, L585 could only be replaced with an amino acid having similar physiochemical properties, including isoleucine, methionine, and valine, without negatively affecting FcRn binding 64
