Bilirubin and Enzyme Activity To determine the serum levels of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT, IU/L), and total bilirubin (mol/L), blood samples were collected immediately after euthanasia and were centrifuged for 15 min at 3000 rpm
The medication activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain, which: Reduces hunger and appetite Slows gastric emptying (how fast food leaves your stomach) Helps regulate insulin and glucose levels Promotes a feeling of fullness after smaller meals When paired with medical guidance and lifestyle modifications, this mechanism supports safe and sustainable fat loss over time
Tirzepatide's dual GLP-1/GIP mechanism offers greater weight loss in trials but represents a newer pharmacology with ongoing safety monitoring
