Increased fat synthesis based on enhanced glycolytic activity (pklr1, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 [SREBP1c], fas, and liver X receptor a [lxra]) in aged mice partly accounted for hepatic steatosis (increased leukocytic infiltration) and necrosis (increased plasma aspartate aminotransferase [AST] activity), compared with reduced srebp1c and fas mRNA levels in young mice
An older type of heparin is best administered by a constant intravenous infusion
Blood pressure typically decreases with both peptides, likely due to weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity rather than direct vascular effects
