[2,7] Hydrophobic peptides: may require a minimal pre-solubilization step using a compatible organic solvent (e.g., DMSO or acetonitrile), then dilute into water/buffer to the final concentration
For someone with type 2 diabetes, this could lead to persistent hyperglycaemia with symptoms including increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision
This mechanism helps create lasting fullness and reduces overall calorie intake, but it can also extend the time nutrients spend in your digestive tract
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles that may degrade the amino acid structure and compromise research results
