Additionally, presumably due to the high concentration of DPP-4 found on hepatocytes, 4050% of the remaining active GLP-1 is degraded across the liver
As the use of GLP-1 RA expands, ongoing monitoring of side effects, especially those that are underrecognized in clinical settings, is essential for a better understanding of patient experiences and guiding future studies
