The venom of the Gila monster, the only venomous lizard in America, played a critical role in developing a new class of anti-obesity drugs called GLP-1s. One of the newest GLP-1s is called semaglutide, which is sold under the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy.

I appreciate the thoughtful and thorough explanation Robyn provides and love to share her work!🙏
