P-CTX (procollagen type I C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide), a marker of bone resorption, increased significantly in the semaglutide group compared to placebo (p = 0.021)
While the discovery of therapeutic strategies targeting TICs holds promise, our understanding of TIC biology remains limited due to the challenges in identifying and isolating them
For example, theres also an increased risk for aortic valve stenosis or calcification of the aortic valves
Bottom line When taking semaglutide, adhering to the recommended dosage chart is critical to prevent the potential side effects associated with a rapid dose escalation
50 Preliminary studies show that other treatments such as onabotulinumtoxinA (available as brand Botox) and cannabidiol (over the counter) have benefit, but high-quality studies are needed
This was particularly amplified in SUM-159-CD36 cells (Fig
