Peripheral effects Via the AMY2 and AMY3 receptors Cagrilintide acts peripherally: Slowing of gastric emptying , stronger than with GLP-1 Suppression of postprandial glucagon , helps control postprandial glycemic spikes Modulation of bone remodeling (via AMY3), a neutral effect, but clinically monitored Synergy with GLP-1 (the mechanistic basis of CagriSema) The main innovation is the complementarity with the GLP-1 pathway : GLP-1 suppresses appetite via the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (POMC neurons, AgRP/NPY inhibition) Amylin suppresses appetite via the area postrema (CGRP-like neurons) Two independent centers, two independent mechanisms
Relevant research indicates that: Several studies have suggested that -MSH has anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects, which may translate to KPV, as well [39]
Be cautious when combining with other scalp actives : Some formulations may be affected by concurrent use of high-strength vitamin C (ascorbic acid) or exfoliating acids, though this is largely formulation-dependent and not well established clinically
