After 24 hours of treatment, cells were incubated for 4 hours at 37C with Aquabluer (Boca Scientific, #6015) and fluorescence intensity was measured at 540ex/590em via a SpectraMax M series microplate reader and normalized to the average of control wells
Regeneration of Other Antioxidants : It assists in recycling other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, enhancing their efficacy
Some patients achieve better weight loss with tirzepatide, which activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors compared to semaglutide's GLP-1-only mechanism
