A recombinant human glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1albumin protein (albugon) mimics peptidergic activation of GLP-1 receptor-dependent pathways coupled with satiety, gastrointestinal motility, and glucose homeostasis
Magnesium deficiency (hypomagnesemia) has been associated with insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and increased cardiovascular risk
Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) shows that large peptides can be taken without injections by using advanced drug formulations, but skin patches cannot deliver them
