Conversely, peptides developed solely on the basis of biomarker changes without clear clinical relevance may face reimbursement challenges regardless of regulatory approval (Ciani et al., 2023)
Some published literature outside the scope of RUO product use has examined this compound class in human study settings
Activation of the GLP-1 receptor is known to improve endothelial function and reduce arterial inflammation, while glucagon receptor agonism enhances lipid metabolism and fat oxidation, directly combating atherosclerosis and reducing visceral adiposity
