In models of stress and aging, LGlutathione serves as a reference antioxidant or standard for enzymatic assays, and helps standardize redox conditions in culture media
Thus, glutamine was less effective than glucose at raising cytosolic ATP when added as the first or second substrate
Against this background, reports that GLP-1 secretion from L-cells is reduced in patients with type 2 diabetes [10, 11] have prompted several hypotheses about how this affects the estimated clinical effectiveness of these novel drugs
Insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) acts as a downstream messenger that directly supports muscle cell growth and muscle protein synthesis
Even in patients NOT taking GLP-1s, we see that slow motility can lead to dysbiosis (imbalance of harmful to beneficial bacteria) or SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
When this peptide hormone is optimized, the patient feels satiated after eating a smaller amount of food than they normally would
