Once bound to GLP-1 receptor (a 7-transmembrane protein that belongs to the class B1 G-protein-coupled receptor family) (180), GLP-1 RAs (as GLP-1) initiate a signaling cascade that activates adenylyl cyclase (AC), increasing cAMP levels (in a dose-dependent manner) which, in turn, interacts with several downstream molecules, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase A (PKA) and PI3K (181, 182)
Very gentle on the skin, not drying at all
Injection site reactions, transient flushing, and gastrointestinal upset are reported occasionally
Many women with PCOS see improved ovulation after starting a GLP-1, especially if they have metabolic issues and/or insulin-resistant PCOS
