glp 1 agonists moa Trends in the Development of GLP-1 Receptor Mechanisms of action of GLP-1RA.

The rigid environment of the ovarian cortex activates the Hippo pathway, inhibiting the follicles from entry into the growth phase, thus maintaining the primordial follicles in a dormant state

Larger peptides with post-translational modifications (like the fatty diacid moiety on retatrutide) are more susceptible to degradation than simpler sequences

Ozempic is injected once a week under the skin (not into a muscle)

Ongoing studies are evaluating cardiovascular outcomes with tirzepatide in populations with overweight/obesity and T2D (SURPASS-CVOT) and in those with obesity but without diabetes (SURMOUNT-MMO) [28, 29]
