Following receptor-ligand interaction, the signal is transmitted via the Disheveled (Dvl) protein, which modulates the activity of several key regulators, including axis inhibition protein (Axin), adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) [145]
For example, the Wegovy (semaglutide) prescribing information and Zepbound (tirzepatide) prescribing information describe stepwise start low and go slow titration to a maintenance dose that was tested in clinical trials and approved by regulators.[3,4] A microdose schedule is different and always off-label
