[Results] 72 weeks, 11kg, and A1c was the hard part
Genuinely asking, not being difficult.
Everyone in c/meta repeats that ALT is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 14 threads of people agreeing with each other.
Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?
I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.
best — the order this archive was captured in
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
Small correction: the trial was 24 weeks, not 19. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
the 19 month eGFR check is the routine
the 11 month lipids check is the routine
triglycerides from 10 to 3 is movement, not noise
Baseline hs-CRP: 99.3. Week 10: 99.1. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.
ApoB from 9 to 19 is movement, not noise
ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

Baseline ApoB: 99.3. Week 54: 94.2. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
the 9 month ALT check is the routine
the 9 month ALT check is the routine
Disagree on that part. 98.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 97.9. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
