Although GLP-1 receptors are expressed in rodents and have a functional role in bone metabolism, the density of GLP-1 receptors in monkey and human thyroid cells is extremely low and there is no evidence that calcitonin levels (which have been measured in all clinical trials of GLP-1 receptor agonists) or MTC rates are increased by the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists
If you are a candidate, we start the lowest dose and set the titration schedule
Additionally, conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which affects up to 10% of women of childbearing age, are closely linked to insulin resistance and obesity, further complicating fertility challenges
