Metabolic and cardiometabolic markers that may reflect the drug's activity include: Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c (particularly relevant in type 2 diabetes) Lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides) Blood pressure Waist circumference Liver function tests, particularly in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, previously termed NAFLD)
In vivo rodent models have explored tissue-specific IGF-1R engagement by comparing the biodistribution and signalling footprint of IGF-1 LR3 against the native 70-amino acid ligand
Compared with vehicle controls, GLP-1GIPLani yielded more than 5,411 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the liver, compared to only 913 and 57 DEGs induced by GLP-1GIP and Lani, respectively (Extended Data Fig

For example, in tendon fibroblast cells, BPC-157 dramatically increases phosphorylation (activation) of FAK and paxillin, leading to more cell migration and survival at injury sites
