Summary
This study looked at how a natural gut hormone called GLP-1 affects bone health in 12 healthy volunteers. Participants received either GLP-1 or a saltwater solution for three days using a small pump. Researchers measured changes in bone formation and breakdown markers to understand how GLP-1 might help regulate bone turnover.
