GLP-1s cuasi g unemployment

At Thanksgiving I was able to talk with one of my nephews that is a manager at a plastics company. They are laying off because some of their customers are using less plastic because they are selling less junk food.

GLP-1 really are making an impact!

Stockholm, Sweden, June 23, 2025 – Atrogi AB, a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering muscle-targeted therapies, today announces the publication of a landmark study in the prestigious scientific journal Cell, titled “GRK-biased adrenergic agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.” This paper highlights Atrogi’s first-in-class oral β2-adrenergic receptor agonist, ATR-258, which precisely activates skeletal muscle metabolism through novel GRK2-biased signaling. This transformative approach enhances glucose uptake and improves body composition by reducing fat and preserving lean muscle without the cardiovascular risks typically associated with β2-agonists.

One of the bad problems with GLP-1 s is that the mimic starvation and this causes muscle mass loss. This drug if it passes through all three stages of studies would enhance muscle mass.

Truly fascinating. And I am glad that no one in my family or close circle of friends has any need for any such thing.

I expect we will discuss it on our next hike….

Interesting. The cynic in me wonders how soon athletes will see if this has performance enhancing capabilities.

From what I can make out with all the acronyms and alphabet soup, it reads a bit like the mechanism of clenbutarol and all those other banned substances bodybuilders use. Or try to claim had tainted the meat they ate last night when caught.
