It's interesting with GLP-1 agonists that they all curb inflammation and redox stress.

–All of heart failure, addiction, and aging certainly have inflammation and redox stress as substrate.

It's interesting that GLP-1 agonists all have pulmonary effects. There's GLP-1 receptors in the lung.

(the lung is somewhat relevant in redox stress / burden / balance

as well as neuroendocrine metabolism. the lung is a metabolic organ. it metabolizes serotonin. serotonin has… many roles, anciently repurposed for a ton of things.)

It's usually the case that anything that, say, curbs addiction? will curb inflammation and redox stress, and have pulmonary effects. Exercise, for one. Psychological safety. Healthier eating. 5-HT2A agonists. NMDA antagonists. And… GLP-1 agonists.

spooky old-man-oracle voice: everything is pulmonaaaaryyyy
