anyone else notice glucagon kicking in around week 47
anyone else notice glucagon kicking in around week 47. Full detail below, and I have tried to keep the editorialising out of it.
Imaging-derived liver fat fraction is a surrogate. It correlates with histology imperfectly, and a trial reporting one is not reporting the other.
Histological endpoints in this field are scored on biopsy: resolution of steatohepatitis without worsening of fibrosis, or improvement in fibrosis without worsening of steatohepatitis. Both are harder to achieve and to interpret than an imaging surrogate.
Tell me where this is wrong. That is the useful part of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
It is a dual agonist at the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors. The glucagon arm is associated with increased energy expenditure and with effects on hepatic fat, which is why the development programme is oriented towards liver disease.
Assumed the weight numbers were the point and was corrected. They are secondary to what this is being developed for.
The escalation schedules in the published protocols are slow and deliberate, and the tolerability tables show why. That is a description of the trials rather than a suggestion for anybody.
Independent purity results for this compound are very sparse across the whole site, which means any impression about consistency is built on almost nothing.
