GLP-1 RAs in combination with metformin showed even more weight loss and improvement in markers of hyperandrogenism
Its role is to: Enhance insulin secretion when blood sugar rises Reduce glucagon secretion , lowering blood glucose production Slow stomach emptying , which promotes satiety Reduce appetite , leading to weight loss Since natural GLP-1 breaks down quickly, drug companies created synthetic GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide in Ozempic/Wegovy) that stay active longer
The policy recognizes that research needs can change and institutions need assurance on product quality and suitability for their specific experimental applications
