Additionally, GO@GSH-FA nanoparticles displayed a visible corona structure around GO core, further confirming successful functionalization with the fibrinogen aptamer
But with its growing use, questions about potential side effects also arise
GLP-1 Receptors and Skin Inflammation Beyond the indirect effects of weight loss, GLP-1 receptors are present in skin tissue, including in keratinocytes, the primary cells of the outer skin layer, and in immune cells resident in skin
Unlike current GLP-1 drugs that require weekly injections (like semaglutide or liraglutide), this oral formulation demonstrated: Significant weight loss over 72 weeks Improved blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes A safety profile consistent with known GLP-1 agents (mostly mild GI side effects) Why this matters: A pill is easier to use and store than injectables
They slow gastric emptying, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce hepatic glucose production, and appear to have direct cardiovascular benefits independent of weight loss
