GLP-1 Peptide Therapy refers to the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists that: Enhance satiety by slowing gastric emptying Suppress postprandial glucagon secretion Promote insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner Reduce caloric intake and support sustained weight loss GLP-1 Peptide Therapy has proven to be effective for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with related comorbidities
Weight, metabolism, hormone therapy, and inflammation can all affect health after a breast cancer diagnosis, which is why GLP-1 medications are drawing so much attention
Further research has also provided evidence of increased hippocampal BDNF following both acute resistance exercise in insulin-resistant rats (Berbert-Gomes et al., 2024) and increases in basal BDNF concentrations following 8 weeks of progressive ladder-climbing RT (8 climbs, 2 repetitions for each load of 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% MCL, 3 times per week) in a rodent model of AD (Jafarzadeh et al., 2021)
