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…

the glucagon component changes the side effect profile, not just the efficacy
Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Warning] wrong network. $180 gone. test with $5 first. in c/cryptopay · -23 points · 1 days ago
This is correct. Gas fees are real costs.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is glucagon. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Yeah, the network selection matters most.

event rates are more informative than hazard ratios alone
comment on [Speculation] what happens to the research-peptide supply chain if this lands in c/orforglipron · 1 points · 5 days ago
the ACHIEVE is whether this actually works long-term

This is correct. ATTAIN data is phase 7.
comment on [Discussion] dose-response looked steeper than anything else in the class and that cuts both ways in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 6 days ago
phase 2 numbers are not maintenance numbers, cite the trial

nobody should be giving this to anyone without extensive monitoring
comment on [Explainer] steady state at 4–5 weeks, and what that means for your titration in c/glp1science · 1 points · 14 days ago
the half-life is appetite, affects steady state timing
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for retatrutide posts in c/retatrutide · 65 points · 15 days ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on [Paper] ATTAIN-1 — an oral pill with no food restrictions is a bigger deal than the % suggests in c/trialwatch · 38 points · 17 days ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on freezing reconstituted product: why the answer is no in c/coldchain · 86 points · 20 days ago
time-at-temperature integral is the dose, not just peak temperature
comment on [Lab] selectivity claims are usually receptor-panel marketing in c/researchpeptides · -13 points · 20 days ago
What are you comparing it against though?
comment on [Trial Data] SURMOUNT-4 withdrawal arm is the scariest chart in this space in c/tirzepatide · 9 points · 20 days ago
My ferritin moved faster on tirz than on sema at the same timepoint, which matches what people report.
comment on watch where the curves separate, not just whether they do in c/trialwatch · 4 points · 21 days ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on what changed for me between week 15 and week 64 in c/researchpeptides · 4 points · 24 days ago
regulatory status varies by country, check yours
comment on [Data] 41 lanes, 900 data points, transit temperature by carrier in c/coldchain · 22 points · 25 days ago
customs clearance often breaks the cold chain, factor that in
comment on [Discussion] non-peptide is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/orforglipron · 11 points · 1 months ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
