Organic selenium (Se)-containing amino acids, such as selenocysteine and selenomethionine, can provide antioxidant benefits by acting both as direct antioxidants as well as a source of selenium for the synthesis of selenium-dependent antioxidants and repair proteins (e.g., glutathione peroxidases, thioredoxin reductases, methionine sulfoxide reductases) 71
During flu infection, this delayed gastric motility combined with viral-induced nausea can lead to prolonged discomfort and greater dehydration risk
Although many preclinical studies suggest that GLP-1R agonism can act directly on neurons to prevent cell death, this neuroprotective property may be secondary to reduced glucotoxicity and inflammation in the brain that can result from weight loss and improvements in glycemic control (Berkseth et al., 2014)
