Moreover, in a validation study to confirm the reproducibility of our findings, the glutathione level was reduced in NTG and POAG patients compared with a cataract control group
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor widely expressed on the surface of a wide range of cells in the human body, including pancreatic islet , and cells, as well as multiple tissues such as the intestines, stomach, lungs, heart, kidneys, and central nervous system
Because its a small molecule rather than a peptide, it survives oral dosing without the empty-stomach window that Rybelsus (oral semaglutide) requires, and it can be manufactured at scale without the cold-chain and biologic-manufacturing constraints that limit injectable peptide supply
To overcome some of the barriers associated with injectable therapy, an oral formulation of the GLP-1RA, semaglutide, was developed and has been approved in the US, Canada, and Europe for treating adults with T2D [Citation1618]

Was the experiment a failure because the hypothesis was wrong, or because the peptide was degraded by contaminated water
