People with type 2 diabetes either resist the effects of insulin a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells or dont produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels
SARS-CoV-2 ferritin nanoparticle vaccine induces robust innate immune activity driving polyfunctional spike-specific T cell responses
The A1c lowering ability of the different SGLT2 inhibitors is similar but A1c is reduced to a slightly greater extent by high-dose canagliflozin, which is probably a result of its additional action of inhibiting SGLT1 in the intestine decreasing dietary glucose absorption (138,139,141)
Intriguingly, a competitive relationship between the homologues CHAC1 and CHAC2 was observed in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), where they play opposing roles in maintaining cellular GSH levels and regulating differentiation (Wang et al., 2017)
Specifically, women treated with GLP-1 RAs may experience greater glycaemic control and weight-reduction benefits, as well as a higher incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events, compared with men [59]
GLP-1R activation also lowers the rewarding functions of the brain by interfering with our sensitivity to dopamine, which explains why this medicine may be important in the treatment of addiction and alcoholism
