Social isolation impairs the persistence of social recognition memory by disturbing the glutamatergic tonus and the olfactory bulb-dorsal hippocampus coupling
As the medication works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, it helps regulate hunger signals in the brain, leading to reduced cravings and increased satiety

Mutations in SLC26A1 cause nephrolithiasis
Participants receiving the highest dose (12 mg weekly) achieved a mean body weight reduction of approximately 24% from baseline at 48 weeks a figure that, whilst encouraging, should be interpreted with caution as cross-trial comparisons with approved agents are not methodologically robust in the absence of head-to-head data
Two possible mechanisms of NO-mediated protein S-glutathionylation can be envisioned: through a GSNO (activated thiol) formation and its consequent reaction with protein-thiol (179) or through an intermediate protein-thiol nitrosylation (activated protein-thiol: analog of sulfenic acid) and its consequent reaction with GSH
