In patients with T2DM, where islet neogenesis and -cell replication are normal, increased apoptosis is the main cause of the decrease in their -cell numbers, so preventing -cell apoptosis may become an effective means of treating T2DM (Butler et al., 2003)
As GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) become increasingly common in the treatment of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, retina specialists are paying close attention to whether the drug therapies may influence ocular disease in already high-risk patients
The collection process is entirely safe for both mother and baby since it involves tissue that would otherwise be discarded
Focus on: Lean proteins : chicken breast, turkey, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, legumes Non-starchy vegetables : leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, zucchini Whole grains : oats, quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat bread (in moderation) Healthy fats in small amounts : avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil This approach ensures adequate micronutrient intake while supporting glycemic control and minimizing side effects
Overall, the pre- to post-intervention network comparisons indicate diet-associated shifts in metabolic and gene interaction patterns , highlighting potential pathway-level modulation following GF-MKD
Liraglutide (known by the brand name Saxenda) and semaglutide (also known as Wegovy and Ozempic) are known as GLP-1 receptor agonists
