Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1, a gut hormone released after nutrient intake. The molecule contains 31 amino acid residues and differs from the native sequence at several positions. A non-natural residue at position eight resists the enzyme that normally truncates the hormone, while a lysine-linked fatty diacid side chain promotes binding to serum albumin. These two modifications extend the circulating half-life from minutes to roughly one week. The peptide is produced by solid-phase synthesis followed by selective acylation, and its identity and purity are confirmed by spectrometric and chromatographic techniques.
The primary target is the GLP-1 receptor, a class B G protein-coupled receptor expressed on pancreatic beta cells, in the gut, and in several brain regions. Receptor activation raises intracellular cyclic AMP, which potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion and lowers glucagon release when blood glucose is elevated. Signalling in the hypothalamus and brainstem is associated with reduced appetite and slower gastric emptying. Because the insulinotropic effect depends on prevailing glucose levels, the hypoglycaemic risk of the peptide alone is described as low in most study settings. The relative contribution of peripheral and central actions remains an active research question.
Large randomised trials in adults with type 2 diabetes and in adults with obesity have reported reductions in body weight and improvements in several cardiovascular risk markers. One outcome trial found a lower incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events in participants with diabetes and established cardiovascular disease. Gastrointestinal effects such as nausea and vomiting are the most frequently reported adverse events and often diminish over time. Changes in lean body mass during weight loss are an area of ongoing investigation. Effects in adolescents and in pregnancy are less well characterised, and current labelling advises against use during pregnancy.

=== Etymology === Lactobacillic acid and Lactobacillussäure are translations of the English term 'lactobacillic acid', which scientists proposed when this fatty acid was discovered (1950) in a Lactobacillus species. In the German-language literature, the term lactobacillic acid is used more frequently than lactobacillus acid. As early as 1938, another group of researchers discovered an unusual fatty acid from the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens (at that time called Bacterium tumefaciens or Phytomonas tumefaciens) was isolated and after the generic name as phytomonic acid. According to the knowledge of scientists at the time, this saturated fatty acid had the molecular formula C20H40O2. The proposed structure was a branched-chain fatty acid with a methyl group as a branch, methylnonadecanoic acid. However, K. Homann et al. were able to show in 1955 that this compound isolated from P. tumefaciens was in fact lactobacillic acid. According to them, the substance originally investigated had been contaminated.
== History == Diabulimia is not currently recognised in the DSM-5. Current diagnoses are based on the idea of insulin restriction being a feature of existing anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Diabulimia is gaining notability within scientific research. In 2019, NHS England began trialling specialist diabulimia clinics. Whilst access to eating disorder clinics is improving, access to specialist diabulimia services is not widely available.
Neurotoxins, which primarily affect the nervous systems of animals, such as ion channel toxins. These are found in many venomous taxa, including mambas, black widow spiders, scorpions, box jellyfish, cone snails, centipedes and blue-ringed octopuses. Myotoxins, which damage muscles by binding to a receptor. These small, basic peptides are found in snake (such as rattlesnake) and lizard venoms. Cytotoxins, which kill individual cells and are found in the apitoxin of honey bees and the venom of black widow spiders. A subclass of cytotoxins is the necrotoxins, which cause necrosis (i.e., death) in the cells and tissues they encounter. The complex venoms of vipers and bees contain phospholipases; viper venoms often also contain trypsin-like serine proteases.
According to Kardashev, the transmissions of an extraterrestrial civilization (what SERENDIP is looking for) can be divided into two types. On the one hand, there can be an exchange of information between highly developed civilizations or civilizations at similar stages of evolution. On the other hand, the transmission of information can be aimed at raising the level of other less developed civilizations. If supercivilizations do exist, the transmissions of the first type must remain inaccessible to our observation because they must be unidirectional and not be directed toward the Solar System. Conversely, those of the second type must be easily detectable by our listening devices. A signal of artificial origin should contain more than 10 and less than 100 bits. The latter would be of two types: transient and stable. Several criteria allow us to distinguish a signal of artificial origin from others. First, the optimal region of the spectrum to host artificial signals is the one where the temperature of the cosmic microwave background is the lowest. Second, artificial sources must have a minimum angular size. The presence of suspicious data in other regions of the spectrum (such as circular polarization, radio and optical frequencies, or X-ray emissions) can confirm that it is an intelligent transmission. Two sources among those studied have parameters close to those expected: 1934-63 and 3C 273B. For L. M.

=== Mechanism of action === Leuprorelin is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue acting as an agonist at pituitary GnRH receptors. GnRH receptor agonists initially increase the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by the anterior pituitary and increased serum estradiol and testosterone levels via the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis (HPG axis). However, normal functioning of this axis requires pulsatile release of GnRH from the hypothalamus. Continuous exposure to an agonist such as leuprorelin for several weeks causes pituitary GnRH receptors to become desensitised and no longer responsive (downregulation). This desensitisation is the objective of leuprorelin therapy because it ultimately reduces LH and FSH secretion, leading to hypogonadism and a dramatic reduction in estradiol and testosterone levels regardless of sex.
histone core Also histone octamer and core particle. The complex of eight histone proteins around which double-stranded DNA wraps within a nucleosome. The canonical histone octamer consists of two each of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, which pair with each other symmetrically to form a ball-shaped cluster around which DNA winds through interactions with the histones' surface domains, though variant histones may replace their analogues in certain contexts.
=== Secret peace discussions, opposition to troop withdrawals === In June 1969, the former Defense Secretary Clark Clifford published an article in Foreign Affairs calling for the withdraw of 100,000 U.S. troops from Vietnam by the end of 1969 and all by the end of 1970. Influenced by Laird, Nixon announced the immediate withdraw of 25,000 U.S. troops from Vietnam, saying: "I would hope that we could beat Mr. Clifford's timetable". Kissinger was opposed to the withdrawal, which he predicted would mean the immediate collapse of South Vietnam. On 4 August 1969, Kissinger met secretly with Xuân Thủy at the Paris apartment of Jean Sainteny to discuss peace. Sainteny was a former French colonial official sympathetic to Vietnamese nationalism who had offered to serve as an honest broker. Kissinger had been hoping to see Tho rather than Thuy. Kissinger repeated the American offer of "mutual withdrawal" of U.S. and North Vietnamese forces from South Vietnam, which Thủy rejected, while Thủy demanded a new government in Saigon, which Kissinger rejected. Kissinger had a low opinion of North Vietnam, saying "I can't believe that a fourth-rate power like North Vietnam doesn't have a breaking point". Kissinger was opposed to the strategy of Vietnamization, expressing some doubt about the ability of the ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam-i.e. the South Vietnamese Army) to hold the field, causing much tension with Defense Secretary Laird who was deeply committed to Vietnamization. In September 1969, Kissinger, in a memo, advised Nixon against "de-escalation", saying that keeping U.S.

Native GLP-1 is degraded within minutes by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and neutral endopeptidases. Semaglutide carries a non-natural amino acid at position eight that blocks that cleavage, and a fatty diacid side chain that binds albumin. The result is a much longer duration of action than the native hormone.
The fatty diacid chain associates strongly with serum albumin, which keeps the peptide in circulation and shields it from rapid renal clearance. Bound peptide is released gradually, producing a sustained receptor signal. This mechanism also reduces the peak-to-trough variation seen with shorter-acting analogues.
The balance between peripheral receptor activation and signalling in the central nervous system is not fully resolved. The extent to which slowed gastric emptying accounts for reduced energy intake, compared with direct effects on appetite circuits, is debated. Long-term effects on lean mass and on tissues outside the gut and brain are still under study.
