med.stanford.edu

A drug in trials for age-related muscle loss may help GLP-1 users rebuild muscle after damage during weight loss. The experimental drug, a PGDH inhibitor, boosts muscle stem cell activation, aiding repair and regeneration. In mice, it countered muscle loss and weakness seen with GLP-1 drugs. This compound could potentially be a companion treatment for GLP-1 users or those losing weight, helping preserve muscle mass alongside fat loss.
