Landmark mechanistic work showed that SCFAs trigger GLP-1 secretion through FFAR2, and that mice lacking this receptor have blunted SCFA-driven GLP-1 release and impaired glucose tolerance
According to the FDA's draft guidance, PDURS provides a practical pathway to add a companion software to the label to promote patient outcomes and safety

When food is eaten, the intestine releases GLP-1, which increases insulin secretion in response to the meal, helps lower blood sugar, slows the rate at which the stomach empties, and acts on the brainstem and hypothalamus to reduce appetite and increase fullness
"This, in turn, may result in less joint swelling, pain, and stiffness over time," says Gregory P
These peptides work through complementary mechanisms that may produce synergistic effects when combined
