Medication use, infection risk, imaging, and physical exam findings matter more than labs alone
Electrolyte Solutions: (Generic Pedialyte) Essential for combating the systemic dehydration commonly caused by GLP-1 medications
Methods The current study involves the fusion of a native or mutant GLP-1 (30 residues) with an HSA-binding DARPin (123 residues) via a rigid helical linker (15 residues) to create fusion proteins (168 residues) resistant to DPP-IV and, or trypsin with extended half-lives using structural modeling, which are subsequently characterized using MD simulation and molecular docking analyses
