Glyoxlase-1 (Glo1) in plasma Glyoxalase-I (Glo1) levels in plasma from uninfected and COVID-19 were detected using commercial ELISA kits according to the manufacturers protocols (MyBioSource, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA, catalog # MBS2021816)
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Cost per Pound Lost (Estimated): Oral Semaglutide (Rybelsus): Average weight loss: 10 pounds (for 250 lb person) Cost: $900-$1,000/month for 6 months = $5,400-$6,000 Cost per pound lost: $540-$600 Injectable Semaglutide (Compounded from TrimRx): Average weight loss: 37 pounds (for 250 lb person) Cost: $199/month for 16 months = $3,184 Cost per pound lost: $86 Injectable Tirzepatide (Compounded from TrimRx): Average weight loss: 56 pounds (for 250 lb person) Cost: $349/month for 18 months = $6,282 Cost per pound lost: $112 Value Comparison: Hidden Costs: Oral Semaglutide: No injection supplies needed (saves $20-30/month) May require acid reflux medication if SNAC causes irritation Potential need for additional weight loss interventions if not effective Injectable Medications: Injection supplies usually included or inexpensive Sharps container ($5-10 one-time) Potential anti-nausea medication ($10-30/month if needed) Insurance Variables: If your insurance covers Rybelsus with a $25-$50 copay, it may seem like an attractive option
