Deferoxamine (DFO) inhibits ferroptosis by chelating extracellular Fe, thereby weakening TfR1-mediated iron influx
When administered therapeutically, GLP-1 receptor agonists work through several mechanisms: Enhancing insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner [1] [4] Suppressing glucagon release from alpha cells, reducing hepatic glucose output Slowing gastric emptying , which helps moderate post-meal blood glucose rises Promoting satiety through central nervous system pathways, potentially supporting weight reduction Investigational transdermal GLP-1 delivery systems typically utilise specialised technologies such as microneedles or active delivery methods rather than conventional patches, as GLP-1 molecules are large peptides that do not easily penetrate the skin barrier
Vitamin E and Vitamin C are added to support cellular restoration and prevent and correct pigmentation and spots

Mounjaros dual GIP/GLP-1 mechanism may offer additional metabolic benefits, though the unique role of GIP activation is still being studied
How it works in the body: Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) receptor agonists that work by increasing how much insulin your body releases after a meal, mimicking a naturally-occurring gastrointestinal hormone which signals digestion and satiety, says Dr
