GLP-2 Treatment for Gut Health in Undernourished Women
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medication called GLP-2 (given as daily injections for one month) can help repair gut damage and improve nutrition in underweight women. You would also receive food and vitamin supplements, and have two small procedures to check your gut health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
