Methods Search Strategy and Study Selection The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist was inspected for the systematic review ( Tables S1, S2 , respectively
We extracted 62 sphingolipids, 46 steroids, and 118 microbial-derived metabolites to replicate our findings in the MGBB-LLF cohort
Retatrutide could be more efficacious than tirzepatide for the treatment of T2DM and obesity
Peptides are getting a lot of attention right now, and the discussions around them are evolving
