Micronutrients & recovery
Lower baseline circulating cysteine concentrations are significantly associated with a positive weight loss response to exenatide treatment.
Current research suggests that women with lower baseline levels of the amino acid cysteine may be more likely to respond to exenatide. This is an emerging biomarker finding and not yet a standard clinical test for predicting response.
We observed lower cysteine concentrations in the exenatide responder group (0.81 vs 0.48 p < 0.0001)
Why this rating
Exploratory analysis with a small subset of subjects (n=36 high responders, n=28 low responders), underpowered for definitive conclusions.
