She links increased infection rates to the drug's tempering effect on immune function
GLP-1 drugs primarily support glucose control and weight loss, while SGLT2 inhibitors offer strong heart and kidney protection
They discovered raw corn starch is digested at the right rate for GLP-1 stimulation, and combined the corn starch with a fiber that generates short-chain fatty acids in the large intestine, which also potentially can activate the GLP-1 system
Acetylcholine is a primary neurotransmitter responsible for memory formation, learning, attention span, and autonomic nervous system regulation
The compounds were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (Supplementary Figs
