GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) are FDA-approved for Type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management
Since endometriosis treatments commonly rely on progestin therapies, enhanced progesterone receptor responsiveness could, in theory, improve symptom control or reduce hormonal resistance
Stem cell therapy may justify its higher cost in chronic degenerative conditions like moderate knee osteoarthritis or failed conservative management of tendinopathy, where moderate-quality human evidence supports symptom reduction despite lack of structural regeneration
Mechanistically, GLP-1 signaling suppresses M1-associated genes while enhancing that of M2-related genes through activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) (Wan and Sun, 2019)
