Interestingly, some women with PCOS might actually experience improved menstrual regularity since GLP-1 drugs lower insulin, a major contributor to irregular periods in women with PCOS
For purification, cell pellets were resuspended in 35 ml of lysis buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 10 mM imidazole, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 0.5% Triton X-100, and one tablet of protease inhibitor cocktail per 50 ml), sonicated for 1 min (1 s on, 5 s off), and centrifuged at 87,000 g for 20 min
However, more significant reductions in HbA1c levels (average blood sugar levels over the previous 2-3 months) usually develop over about 8-12 weeks of continued treatment
The formula: total peptide mass (mg) required concentration (mg/mL) = bacteriostatic water volume (mL)
