Development began in the early 2010s with the goal of extending GLP-1 activity beyond the brief window achieved by native peptide infusion. The earliest approved formulation was a subcutaneous injection given once weekly. A later oral tablet pairs the peptide with an absorption enhancer, sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate, usually shortened to SNAC. That carrier lowers local pH and helps the peptide cross gastric tissue. Both routes deliver the same active molecule.
Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide analog of human glucagon-like peptide-1, a gut hormone released after meals. Its backbone retains the GLP-1 sequence but incorporates two substitutions that slow enzymatic breakdown by dipeptidyl peptidase-4. A short polyethylene glycol linker and a C18 fatty diacid are attached to the peptide chain, allowing the molecule to bind serum albumin and remain in circulation far longer than the native hormone. The result is a circulating half-life measured in days rather than the minutes typical of endogenous GLP-1.
Clinical development of this compound followed earlier short-acting GLP-1 analogues that required frequent injection. Once-weekly subcutaneous formulations entered use after 2017, and an oral formulation using a permeation enhancer later became available. The oral version pairs the peptide with sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate, a carrier that improves uptake across the gastric epithelium. Interest has expanded from glycaemic control into weight management and metabolic liver disease. Regulatory status and approved indications differ between countries, and the product remains subject to ongoing safety monitoring.
Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide that acts as an agonist at the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor. It is a structural analogue of human GLP-1(7-37), modified to resist enzymatic degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase-4. The peptide backbone contains alpha-aminoisobutyric acid at position 8, a substitution that stabilises the helix and slows cleavage. A fatty diacid side chain attached through a linker at lysine 34 promotes binding to serum albumin, which extends the circulating half-life. These two modifications together allow less frequent administration than native GLP-1 requires.
Activation of the GLP-1 receptor couples to Gs signalling and raises intracellular cyclic AMP in pancreatic beta cells. The resulting insulin release depends on prevailing glucose concentrations, so the effect is greater when glucose is elevated. Receptor engagement also suppresses glucagon secretion and slows gastric emptying, which flattens post-meal glucose excursions. In the central nervous system, signalling in hypothalamic and brainstem regions is associated with reduced appetite and lower energy intake. Studies continue to examine effects on cardiac, renal and hepatic endpoints; whether those benefits are independent of weight change remains an open question.

Storage guidance for the finished injectable product distinguishes the unused state from the in-use state. Before first use, pens are kept refrigerated between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius, protected from light, and never frozen, since freezing can disrupt the peptide or the device. After first use, label instructions in several markets permit storage at room temperature up to about 30 degrees Celsius for a limited number of days. Solid research-grade material is normally held at or below minus 20 degrees Celsius, often with desiccant, and allowed to equilibrate before opening.
Quantification and purity assessment rely on separation methods coupled to optical or mass detection. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography resolves the intact peptide from related impurities and is the standard assay technique. Size-exclusion chromatography measures aggregates, while ion-exchange chromatography separates charge variants produced by deamidation. Mass spectrometry confirms identity and detects mass shifts of a few daltons. In biological matrices, liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry is often used because immunoassays can cross-react with endogenous GLP-1 or with circulating fragments.
As a peptide, semaglutide is sensitive to conditions that break amide bonds or modify side chains. Deamidation of asparagine and glutamine residues, oxidation of methionine and tryptophan, and non-covalent aggregation are the main degradation routes described in published stability work. Rate depends strongly on pH, buffer species, ionic strength, temperature and exposure to light. Formulators therefore choose a defined solution pH and often add excipients such as phosphate buffer, propylene glycol and phenol, each of which plays a separate role in pH control, tonicity or preservation.
Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection near 214 or 280 nanometres is widely used to assess purity and to resolve related impurities. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry confirms identity through the protonated molecular ion and fragment ions formed in tandem experiments. Capillary electrophoresis and peptide mapping after enzymatic digestion supply complementary information on charge variants and modification sites. Circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance can report on secondary structure in solution. Absolute quantification usually depends on an external standard, and reported purity depends on the detection wavelength and integration parameters chosen.
Lyophilised material appears as a white to off-white cake or powder that is hygroscopic, and containers are usually equilibrated to room temperature before opening to limit condensation. Dissolution is performed in water, phosphate-buffered saline, or a mildly alkaline buffer, since solubility rises above neutral pH. Gentle inversion or low-speed mixing is preferred, because vigorous vortexing can promote surface denaturation and aggregation. Complete dissolution may require several minutes, and brief sonication is sometimes applied. Passing the solution through a 0.22 micrometre membrane removes particulates but does not by itself sterilise the liquid.
肽类的主要降解路径包括天冬酰胺脱酰胺、甲硫氨酸氧化、天冬氨酸异构化以及由 β-折叠驱动的聚集，这些反应对 pH 与缓冲液种类较为敏感。磷酸盐、丙二醇与苯酚等辅料会影响局部微环境与界面行为。强制降解研究借助高温、强光、氧化剂与极端 pH 暴露来预测产物谱。关于长期室温存放的数据相对有限，超出标签条件的稳定性仍属开放问题，需要在具体制剂中通过实时与加速试验加以确认。
容器与密封系统同样参与稳定性表现。硅油涂层、胶塞材质与顶空氧含量可能改变聚集速率与氧化水平。分析结果因此需要在完整包装形式下评估，而不能仅凭原料药数据推断。法规文件通常要求同时提交批次数据与代表性容器中的稳定性趋势。
== Main constituents == Sandalwood oil contains more than 90% sesquiterpenic alcohols of which 50–60% is the tricyclic α-santalol. β-Santalol comprises 20–25%. The composition of the oil will depend on the species, region grown, age of tree, and possibly the season of harvest and details of the extraction process used. Current International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for S. album oil are 41–55% α-santalol and 16–24% β–santalol (ISO 3518: 2002E).

There are four main seasons dictated by shifts in wind patterns. Pastoral and agricultural life revolve around these. From December to March is the Jilal, the harshest dry season of the year. The main rainy season, the Gu, lasts from April to June. This period is characterised by the southwest monsoons, which rejuvenate pasture land, especially the central plateau, and briefly transform desert into lush vegetation. From July to September is the second dry season, the Xagaa. The Dayr, which is the shortest rainy season, lasts from October to December. The tangambili periods that intervene between the monsoons (October–November and March–May) are hot and humid.
In May 1986, the company test marketed the concept by selling through grocery stores in Denver and Indianapolis. By the following year, the test was expanded to include Columbus, Ohio, and Portland, Oregon. By 2014, retail sales were eventual expanded to all 50 states with sales conducted through supermarkets, c-stores, vending machines, concessions, military, drug, club, mass and dollar stores. Frozen White Castle hamburgers became available to Canadians in 2015 through various convenience stores and later became available at Canadian Walmart stores in 2018.

A preprohormone is the precursor protein to one or more prohormones, which are in turn precursors to peptide hormones. In general, the protein consists of the amino acid chain that is created by the hormone-secreting cell, before any changes have been made to it. It contains a signal peptide, the hormone(s) itself (themselves), and intervening amino acids. Before the hormone is released from the cell, the signal peptide and other amino acids are removed.
Note: For purposes of this table, genes are defined as orphan genes (when species-specific) or TRGs (when limited to a closely related group of species) when the mechanism of origination has not been investigated, and as de novo genes when de novo origination has been inferred, irrespective of method of inference. The designation of de novo genes as "candidates" or "proto-genes" reflects the language used by the authors of the respective studies.
==== Post-cancer breast reconstruction ==== After mastectomy, surgical breast reconstruction with autogenous skin flaps and with breast implants can produce subtle deformities and deficiencies resultant from such global breast augmentation, thus the breast reconstruction is incomplete. In which case, fat graft injection can provide the missing coverage and fullness, and might relax the breast capsule. The fat can be injected as either large grafts or as small grafts, as required to correct difficult axillary deficiencies, improper breast contour, visible implant edges, capsular contracture, and tissue damage consequent to radiation therapy.
== History == DESI has been widely studied since its inception in 2004 by Zoltan Takáts, Justin Wiseman and Bogdan Gologan, in Graham Cooks' group from Purdue University with the goal of looking into methods that didn't require the sample to be inside of a vacuum. Both DESI and direct analysis in real time (DART) have been largely responsible for the rapid growth in ambient ionization techniques, with a proliferation of more than eighty new techniques being found today. These methods allow for complex systems to be analyzed without preparation and throughputs as high as 45 samples a minute. DESI is a combination of popular techniques, such as, electrospray ionization and surface desorption techniques. Electrospray ionization with mass spectrometry was reported by Malcolm Dole in 1968, but John Bennett Fenn was awarded a nobel prize in chemistry for the development of ESI-MS in the late 1980s. Then in 1999, desorption of open surface and free matrix experiments were reported in the literature utilizing an experiment that was called desorption/ionization on silicon. The combination of these two advancements led to the introduction of DESI and DART as the main ambient ionization techniques that would later become multiple different techniques. One in particular, due to increasing studies into optimization of DESI, is nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI). In this technique the analyte is desorbed into a liquid bridge formed between two capillaries and the analysis surface.

== Advantages and disadvantages == This laboratory technique has various advantages. First, these tests are relatively cheap, relatively straightforward and allow for real-time measurements. Additionally, the testing conditions can be easily adjusted to fit different experimental objectives. This approach also allows for a strong directional migratory response making quantifying data simple. One limitation of this assay is that there could be inconsistencies with the depth and size of the scratch. When the scratch is done manually, it's susceptible to 'ragged' edge boundaries, which make analyzing data more difficult. Also, the damage could physically damage the cells adjacent to the wound and create inaccurate wound size areas. This limitation is slowly becoming less of an issue with automated technologies. The Electric Cell Impendance Sensing assays utilize to prevent damage to the cells in the underlying extracellular matrix that can likely happen with the manual scratching approaches. Additionally, the Woundmaker makes fast and uniform wounds across various numbered well-plates options (96 or 384) and allows for high throughput screening, which is a major advantage for various medical research studies. Despite the new technology that is increasing this assay's accuracy and efficacy, there are still confounding factors that can skew the assay results, such as cell "crowding", cell/cell adhesion effects and matrix effects. Additionally, there is still mention with the problem of accumulation of cells at the edge of the scratch, making the cell densities uneven.
The post–Cold War era is a period of history that has been ongoing since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, which began in 1988 and marked the end of the Cold War by 1991, thereby leaving the United States as the world's sole superpower. At the same time, Europe experienced the collapse of communism alongside the fall of the "Iron Curtain" between the American-aligned Western Bloc and the Soviet-aligned Eastern Bloc, which gradually embraced market economies. The establishment of the European Union (EU) in 1993 effectively reversed the continent's Cold War divide by absorbing most of Eastern Europe and integrating it with Western Europe over the course of three enlargements. Relative to the Cold War, the period is characterized by stabilization and disarmament. Both Russia (the Soviet Union's legal successor state) and the United States significantly reduced their nuclear weapons stockpiles, and most Eastern Bloc countries became democratic and were integrated into the global economy. In the first two decades of the post–Cold War era, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) underwent three enlargements and France re-integrated into the NATO command, while Russia founded the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) to replace the Warsaw Pact. More recently, China has become a rising power and has likewise consolidated a greater role on the international stage while building a strategic partnership with Russia, with both countries working in BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
=== Dating === Dating Lindow Man is difficult as samples from the body and surrounding peat have produced dates spanning a 900-year period. Although the peat encasing Lindow Man has been radiocarbon dated to about 300 BC, Lindow Man himself has a different date. Early tests at different laboratories returned conflicting dates for the body; later tests suggested a date between 2 BC and 119 AD. There has been a tendency to ascribe the body to the Iron Age period rather than Roman because of the interpretation that Lindow Man's death may have been a ritual sacrifice or execution. Explanations for why the peat in which he was found is much older have been sought. Archaeologist P. C. Buckland suggests that as the stratigraphy of the peat appears undisturbed, Lindow Man may have been deposited into a pool that was already some 300 years old. Geographer K. E. Barber has argued against this hypothesis, saying that pools at Lindow Moss would have been too shallow, and suggests that the peat may have been peeled back to allow the burial and then replaced, leaving the stratigraphy apparently undisturbed.
Grade 1 qualitative filter paper has the pore size of 11 μm. This grade of filter paper is widely used for many different fields in agricultural analysis, air pollution monitoring and other similar experiments. Grade 2 qualitative filter paper has the pore size of 8 μm. This grade of filter paper requires more filtration time than Grade 1 filter paper. This filter paper is used for monitoring specific contaminants in the atmosphere and soil testing. Grade 3 qualitative filter paper has the pore size of 6 μm. This grade of filter paper is very suitable for carrying samples after filtration. Grade 4 qualitative filter paper has the pore size of 20~25 μm. This grade of filter paper has the largest pore size among all standard qualitative filter papers. It is very useful as rapid filter for cleanup of geological fluids or organic extracts during experiment. Grade 602 h qualitative filter paper has the pore size of 2 μm. This grade of filter paper has the smallest pore size among all standard qualitative filter papers. It is used for collecting or removing fine particles.
=== Peru === Joseph Dombey, in a letter written from Lima on 20 May 1779, specifies the ancestral way used by the Peruvians to prepare potatoes that constitute, along with maize (U.S.: "corn"), their primary foods. Further, that they carry potatoes in haversacks on long journeys, for which the potato is prepared by cooking it in water, then peeling it, and finally exposing it to the wind and sun until it has completely dried. The process can preserve it "several centuries, by guaranteeing it of the humidity". This papa seca (dried potato) is then mixed in with other foods to make meals. Another process consists of freezing the potato and treading on it to remove the skin. Thus prepared, it is put in running water and loaded with stones. Fifteen or twenty days later, it is exposed to the sun until it dries. It becomes the chuño, "a real starch, with which one could make powder for the hair". The Peruvians use it to prepare jams, a flour for convalescents, and mix it with almost all their dishes. An author of the 20th century points out that the process of the Peruvians, who operate by freezing followed by dehydration, is none other than "a freeze-drying by the natural means". He specifies that the tubers are left in frozen water several nights before being exposed to the sun and trodden on and that, "to make the product suitable for consumption, it is enough to put it back in water". According to him, the Spaniards used this preparation in the 16th century to feed the indigenous people forced to work in the silver mines of Potosi.

Native GLP-1 is degraded within minutes by circulating enzymes. The synthetic version carries substitutions at positions that block enzymatic cleavage, plus a fatty acid side chain that promotes albumin binding. These two changes together extend circulation time from minutes to roughly a week.
Albumin binding keeps a large fraction of the compound in a slowly released reservoir within the bloodstream. Plasma levels decline gradually rather than falling sharply after each administration. That profile supports dosing intervals measured in days instead of hours.
The active peptide sequence is the same in both formats. The oral version adds an absorption enhancer that is not present in the injected solution. Differences in excipients and formulation affect uptake rather than the identity of the active molecule.
It belongs to the incretin mimetic class and acts as a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. The class includes several peptides with different half-lives and routes of administration.
