No formally validated dose-equivalence ratios exist, so these recommendations reflect the best available evidence combined with practical clinical experience
This timing helps sustain a steady supply of vital nutrients since the benefits can last from a few days up to a couple of weeks, depending on individual metabolism and the specific IV formula used
A follow up study using radio-ligand PET technology to measure receptor occupancy demonstrated a high degree of GLP-1R occupancy but no detectable GCGR occupancy suggesting that in vivo SAR425899 may be acting in effect as a GLP-1 analogue and not a co-agonist ( Table 1 ) in early phase trials is awaited to determine any divergent effects on gastrointestinal side effects
