Although GLP-1 increased cytokine production in resting iNKT cells, both GLP-1 and liraglutide inhibited cytokine secretion following treatment with phorbol myristate acetate/ionomycin, or in iNKT cells activated by co-culture with glycolipid-treated CD1d-transfected C1R cells, actions blocked by the GLP-1R antagonist exendin (939)
Summary: Electrolytes are important on a GLP-1 because these medications commonly cause gastrointestinal side effects and reduced appetite, leading to fluid and electrolyte losses that can result in potentially serious imbalances affecting cardiac rhythm, muscle function, and kidney health
Letting gravity do the work is the documented approach
Options include 30-day check-ins, 90-day cadences with monthly refills, async portal check-ins, or live video/phone visits
