GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), commonly used for type 2 diabetes, do more than control blood sugar! 🍬➡️💪 Their anti-inflammatory effects help protect the heart, liver, kidneys, and even the brain. #DiabetesResearch #Inflammation

Share your research and science on BSky!
It’s worth it!
🧵
X/Twitter's rough full volume is around 500 total million posts every day, or 182 (and a half) billion posts per year.

By contracts, we found 11.2 million research posts in all of 2025 on there.

In other words, 0.000006% of Twitter appears to be sharing research. Basically zero.
