Cardiovascular Risk Markers TRIUMPH-4 also assessed a panel of cardiometabolic biomarkers, and the results were broadly favorable across the board: Non-HDL cholesterol significant reductions, indicating improved atherogenic lipid burden Triglycerides meaningful decreases, consistent with the known effects of GLP-1 and GIP receptor activation on lipid metabolism High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) substantial reductions, reflecting decreased systemic inflammation
GIP was historically underestimated, but it turns out to be important for energy balance and fat tissue regulation
At Function, we help members get ahead of these risks by testing over 100 biomarkers, including nutrients like B12, folate, vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s, as well as hormones and toxins that directly affect gut and brain function
These include illicit drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, and PCP, as well as prescription medications like opioids, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates
Oral/Labial Melanotic Macule Etiology and Pathogenesis The melanotic macule is a unique, benign, pigmented lesion that has no known dermal counterpart
