Give a gold vermeil GLP-1 necklace to someone whose work is part of that change: the obesity medicine doctor, the pharmacist, or the researcher who has spent years on this one peptide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 2em;\"\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea doctor in diabetes or obesity medicine starting a new post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea metabolism researcher marking a first grant, a big paper or a promotion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea pharmacist or diabetes educator moving on to a new team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea colleague retiring after a career in endocrinology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 2em;\"\u003eThe Science Behind GLP-1 Medicines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first GLP-1 medicine did not come from a human hormone at all. In 1992 John Eng, an endocrinologist at the Bronx VA hospital in New York, isolated exendin-4 from Gila monster venom, a peptide that acts on the same receptor as GLP-1 but lasts far longer in the body. As exenatide, it was approved in 2005 for type 2 diabetes. Chemists at Novo Nordisk took another route and modified human GLP-1 itself, adding a fatty side chain that lets it bind to albumin, the most abundant protein in blood plasma. That gave liraglutide, taken once a day, and later semaglutide, taken once a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 2em;\"\u003eExplore Related Molecules Jewelry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/glp-1\"\u003eGLP-1 necklace | silver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/insulin-18k-gold-plated\"\u003eInsulin necklace | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/gila-monster-skull-gold-vermeil\"\u003eGila monster skull necklace | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/exenatide\"\u003eExenatide necklace | silver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eHow big is the GLP-1 necklace and how does it sit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant is 24 mm long, about 0.9 inches, roughly the width of a US quarter (24.26 mm). It hangs from a small ring on a 45 cm (17.7 in) gold vermeil chain with a 5 cm (2 in) extender, so it sits just below the collarbone and can be worn a little higher or lower. Gold vermeil here means 2.5 microns of 18K gold over a solid sterling silver core, nickel-free and hypoallergenic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eWhich version should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GLP-1 necklace comes in 18K gold vermeil and in sterling silver, both with a 24 mm pendant on a 45 cm chain with a 5 cm extender.

In 1982 Joel Habener's lab at Massachusetts General Hospital read the glucagon gene of the anglerfish and found more than glucagon in it: right beside it sat a second sequence that looked very like glucagon. When the same gene was read in mammals, it held two glucagon-like peptides, and one of them became GLP-1. Working out which form of it the body uses took the rest of the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n","brand":"sciencejewelry1824","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56999426687362,"sku":"NK0410-GV","price":205.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1411\/4806\/files\/glp-1-necklace-gold-vermeil.png?v=1793007391","url":"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/glp-1-gold-vermeil","provider":"sciencejewelry1824","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
