genuine question about receptor that I am slightly embarrassed to ask

Needs Source Receipts ×6 Cold Box ×1 Well Actually ×2

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 10mg, week 27, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — receptor — and tracked it for 10 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

receptor distribution matters, GLP-1 is not everywhere

Yeah, the incretin mechanism is doing the work here.

Which paper are you quoting?

rodent gastric emptying tells you what to investigate, not what to expect in humans

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Is that mechanism or speculation?

central appetite signalling is real but people overweight it

gastric emptying is real and explains most early the food-noise thing

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

Adding to this: half-life is doing more work than the comment implies.

Slight fix: the number was 99.1, not 99.0. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

glucagon-receptor contribution is incretin for dual and triple agonism

Stomach physiology changed when I moved up to 12.5mg. Gastric emptying lag is the whole story.

do not extrapolate rodent data to human dosing without saying so
