[Needs Source] "it heals your metabolism" is not a mechanism

Needs Source

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/tapering repeats that mechanism is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 5 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.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

central appetite signalling is real but people overweight it

Adding to this: mechanism is doing more work than the comment implies.

incretin physiology is appetite, the mechanism layer

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Yeah, the incretin mechanism is doing the work here.

do not extrapolate rodent data to human dosing without saying so

receptor distribution matters, GLP-1 is not everywhere

About c/glp1science

The mechanism layer: incretin physiology, receptor distribution, gastric emptying, central appetite signalling, glucagon-receptor contribution, amylin co-agonism, and the pharmacokinetics that make weekly dosing possible. Papers get cited by journal and year or they get a [needs source] reply.
