The Kraus 2014 Nature paper established that NNMT is highly expressed in adipose tissue (especially in obesity) and that NNMT knockdown in adipose protects against diet-induced obesity in mice
Photoprotective Mechanism The increase in eumelanin production stimulated by MC1R activation provides a photoprotective effect by increasing the skins natural UV-absorbing pigment content

The following adverse effects were reported in patients receiving semaglutide injection or oral tablets across all clinical trials and at incidences higher than with placebo: nausea (11% to 44%), vomiting (5% to 24%), diarrhea (8.5% to 30%), abdominal pain (5.7% to 20%), abdominal distention (2% to 7%), constipation (3.1% to 24%), dyspepsia (0.6% to 9%), decreased appetite (6% to 9%), eructation (0.6% to 7%), flatulence (0.4% to 6%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (1.5% to 5%), gastroenteritis (4% to 6%), and gastritis (0.4% to 4%)
Potential contribution of metformin to the management of cardiovascular disease risk in patients with abdominal obesity, the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes
The choice of route aims to balance effect size, convenience, and side-effect risk
