The interactive dosing schedule chart above shows the full week-by-week progression for both Zepbound (weight management) and Mounjaro (type 2 diabetes)
Studies also show that a ketogenic diet or BHB treatment can activate the major detoxification and oxidative stress nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway.53 In a spontaneous mouse model of T2D (db/db mice) treated with dapagliflozin, there was a noticeable reduction in the expression of genes related to oxidative stress compared with those treated with a standard vehicle or glimepiride.54 This reduction is associated with increased levels of BHB and NRF2 protein expression.54 Similarly, BHB treatment in human proximal tubular cells (HK-2) led to increased NRF2 expression and induced NRF2 nuclear translocation.55 Furthermore, a ketogenic diet has been reported to increase the expression of other antioxidants such as NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone I (NQO1) and superoxide dismutase (SOD1/2),56 and ameliorated paraquat (PQ)-induced elevated lipid peroxidation, toxicity, reduced antioxidant activity and decreased Nrf2 expression,57 highlighting its potential therapeutic role in combating oxidative stress and tissue hypoxia
According to studies, Centella enhanced the production of collagen in vitro and the formation of extracellular matrix in vivo [282]
Summary: Saxenda does not directly cause sore throat, but upper respiratory infections and nasopharyngitis are recognised adverse reactions that may present with throat symptoms
All three medications reduce liver fat to some degree
