Blood chemistry panels and histological analyses of liver, pancreas, kidney, and skin revealed that PNP-based delivery was well tolerated, with reduced organ-level inflammation and tissue remodeling relative to daily bolus administration
Thus, GLP-1 RAs, rather than GIP RAs, were initially identified as a key therapeutic target
