Conclusions In conclusion, this review shows that long-acting GLP-1 RAs induce a pronounced and prolonged increase in 24-h mean HR, while short-acting agents lead to a more transient increase that reverts to baseline levels within a few hours after injection
Unlike some other GH-stimulating compounds, Ipamorelin triggers GH release without significantly raising cortisol or prolactin levels, making it a useful tool for studying isolated GH activity
The GLP-1 receptor is expressed primarily in pancreatic beta cells, the gastrointestinal tract, and certain areas of the central nervous system, with limited expression in skeletal muscle tissue
Dose adjustments, nutrition patterns, and other factors can influence early results

These effects tend to be most noticeable during GLP-1 dose escalations
