showed that an infusion of GLP-1(7-36) increased plasma insulin and reduced plasma glucose in patients that received a glucose load but not in patients who were fasted
5.4.2 Effects on liver Despite the lack of expression of GIPR (191) and GLP-1R (192, 193) in hepatocytes, both GIP and GLP-1 have indirect effects on hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism (194)
Both trials suggest maintenance strategies, such as lower-dose injections or oral therapies, could offer patients more flexible, potentially more convenient options for sustaining weight loss after intensive treatment
Tirzepatide at $400/month for 12 months ($4,800 total) producing 50 pounds of weight loss equals $96 per pound
