GLP-1 RAs Hold Promising Potential for Reduction of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors additional benefits : Brain: Appetite suppression, nerve protection, and decreased neuroinflammation Heart: Decreased blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), reduced total cholesterol levels, lowered endothelial dysfunction, and increased heart rate Liver: Decreased glucose production Pancreas: Increased insulin secretion, decreased glucagon secretion, B islet cell proliferation GI Tract: Decreased gastric emptying Because these drugs cause weight loss, it is not clear whether the GLP-1 RAs or the weight loss reduces cardiometabolic risks
Subjective reports also showed decreased tiredness compared to placebo
Key Benefits: Accelerates healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints Enhances blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) in damaged tissues Reduces pain and inflammation without suppressing immune function Promotes gut health, which supports overall recovery and tissue resilience 2
Injection: Guided by ultrasound, the PRP is carefully delivered into the tendon
