The researchers examined the impact of these interventions through a biochemical characterization of brain homogenates, quantifying oxidative and inflammatory markers such as lipid peroxides, glutathione (GSH), glutathione S-transferase (GST), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), leukotriene B4, prostaglandin E2, and ascorbic acid using spectrophotometric assays and ELISA
These authors found that compared to placebo, semaglutide improved fasting and post-prandial glucose levels (as indicated by reduced glucose, insulin, and C-peptide serum concentrations) and lipid metabolism
Based on clinical data, IV glutathione should not be used without care to brighten the face for cosmetic reasons
However, results vary depending on diet, activity level, and individual hormone response
