A further important safety concern is the unknown interaction profile of these peptides with prescribed medications, including insulin, antihypertensives, and hormonal therapies
Relevant to laboratory studies involving insulinotropic signaling, incretin cross-talk, adipose-associated pathway behavior, and metabolic regulation
The primary actions of GLP-1 medications include: Slowing Gastric Emptying: Food stays in the stomach longer, increasing fullness
However, because large amounts of fat can worsen nausea or acid reflux in some people taking GLP-1 medications, many people find it more comfortable to include smaller portions throughout the day, such as a drizzle of olive oil on vegetables, a tablespoon of almond butter in a smoothie, a quarter of an avocado with lunch, rather than eating one high-fat meal
Aggregation: Peptides can start sticking to each other, forming clumps or aggregates
