Several modifiable and non-modifiable factors influence the level of discomfort experienced during GLP-1 injections

In both male and female GHRKO mice, disruption of the GH/IGF-1 axis from birth results in mice that are remarkably long lived, but temporal disruption of this pathway in young adults (aGHRKO mice) improves lifespan only in females 17 , an observation which is consistent with the beneficial effects of targeting IGF-1R signaling post-development on female healthspan and aging in this study
