However, realistic expectations remain essential for long-term satisfaction
Table 1 illustrates that the most significant obstacles to progress across these systems have not been a lack of physiological relevance, but unresolved pharmacologic, technological, or conceptual challenges
What is LIPO-C

While medications maintain sustained, supraphysiologic hormone levels and typically produce significant weight reduction and HbA1c decreases, food-stimulated GLP-1 is released in brief pulses after meals and rapidly degraded within minutes, resulting in smaller metabolic improvements
