Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles. The claim: glucagon matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 7 months without either producing anything. What would actually settle it is 5 people measuring the same…

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
the 0.25mg arm is different from 2.5mg, results do not transfer
This is correct. Triple agonism is genuinely different.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 88 weeks to accept.
