Yep. My endo said the same thing about GLP-1 receptor.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on GLP-1 receptor expression.
To answer LarryQC_SD: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Adding my data to this GLP-1 receptor expression discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 250 lbs | 235 lbs | 195 lbs |
| A1C | 6.4% | 5.8% | 5.4% |
| hsCRP | 4.0 | 2.0 | 0.8 |
Protocol: Semaglutide 2.4mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.2g/kg/day.

View Results+1 to Dr.CardioMD. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with GLP-1 receptor expression.
Slightly tangential to GLP-1 receptor expression but JakeSmashed95 reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
