[Discussion] we use "appetite suppression" to describe three different mechanisms

Discussion Clean Column ×2

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/meta repeats that incretin is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 4 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

This is correct. Rodent data is investigational, not predictive.

Stomach physiology changed when I moved up to 5mg. Gastric emptying lag is the whole story.

Stomach physiology changed when I moved up to 1.0mg. Gastric emptying lag is the whole story.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

incretin physiology is mechanism, the mechanism layer

The half-life is 16 hours, which means week 16 is genuinely still ramp-up. Week 24 is steady state.

amylin is not GLP-1, posts conflating them get corrected

the half-life is incretin, affects steady state timing

Small correction: the trial was 13 weeks, not 26. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
