Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor (GLP1R) agonists reduce body weight, glycaemia, blood pressure, postprandial lipaemia and inflammation actions that could contribute to the reduction of cardiovascular events
While the principles of N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation are well established in peptide chemistry, direct comparative studies evaluating the modified forms biological activity against the parent peptide have not yet been published
Weight loss is another effect of GLP-1 medications
Common menstrual changes associated with weight loss (which may occur during Saxenda treatment) include: Return of regular cycles: Women with obesity-related amenorrhoea or oligomenorrhoea may find their periods become more regular as weight decreases Temporary irregularity: Some women experience irregular cycles during the active weight loss phase, which typically stabilise once weight plateaus Changes in flow: Menstrual bleeding may become lighter or heavier, though this varies individually Altered cycle length: The time between periods may shorten or lengthen temporarily These changes typically reflect the body's metabolic and hormonal adjustment to weight loss rather than a direct drug effect
