Final Thoughts While GLP-1 injections can assist in weight management, without proper diet, exercise, and professional support, they risk significant muscle loss, metabolic slowdown, and rapid weight regain
In addition, it has also been observed a SGLT2-i induced ACE2/ANG(1-7) pathway activation that may play a role in cardioprotection by competing with ANG II and AT1R (14)
GLP-1 medications work by slowing digestion and reducing appetite, which means they can meaningfully change how much and how often you eat
If you have symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or nerve pain plus suboptimal B12 levels, a trial of supplementation is worth trying since it's very safe
With restrictive diet and exercise regimen you can minimise (but not fully prevent) muscle loss
This premise is supported by studies showing that overexpressing Uch-L1 or pharmacologically enhancing Uch-L1 activity, improves long term potentiation (LTP) and cognition in AD transgenic mouse models (Gong et al., 2006), whereas knocking out Uch-L1 or pharmacologically inhibiting Uch-L1 causes a decline in cognition (Kurihara et al., 2001
