comment on [Results] 25 weeks, 12kg, and contraception was the hard part in c/glp1women · 26 points · 9 months ago

Has this been raised with whoever prescribes?

comment on phase 2: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/retatrutide · 245 points · 10 months ago

Sceptical of the extrapolation. Forty-eight weeks does not tell you about seventy-two, and the curve shape is exactly what is unknown.

permalink

comment on what would you tell week-1 you about contraception in c/glp1women · 38 points · 10 months ago

Same. Perimenopause overlapping with all of this is the least documented area on the whole site.

comment on oral GLP-1 — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/orforglipron · 15 points · 10 months ago

Which programme and which readout are you quoting?

permalink

comment on triple agonist is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/retatrutide · 77 points · 1 year ago

Are you comparing against phase 3 numbers for something else? They are not comparable.

permalink

comment on [Question] integration — what am I missing here in c/hplc · 65 points · 1 year ago

Resolution between two peaks depends on retention, selectivity and efficiency. A shallower gradient buys retention and usually resolution, at the cost of peak width and run time.

permalink

comment on [Question] is 97.4% actually fine or am I being sold a rounding error in c/hplc · 30 points · 1 year ago

Bought a second-hand instrument and learned more in six months of fixing it than in three years of reading traces.

permalink

comment on ATTAIN: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/orforglipron · 17 points · 1 year ago

the boards keep comparing it to injectables at matched doses, which is meaningless

permalink

comment on 5 months in and dose escalation is still the thing I get wrong in c/retatrutide · 7 points · 1 year ago

Are you tracking heart rate at all?

permalink

comment on genuine question about TRIUMPH that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/retatrutide · 26 points · 1 year ago

What is the source for that figure — the published paper or a summary of it?

permalink

comment on [Lab] 9th independent test on QYB — 97.7% on a claimed 97.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/retatrutide · 29 points · 1 year ago

Yes — the comparison threads are apples to oranges and they generate more heat than anything else here.

permalink

comment on reading below spec threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/labresults · 35 points · 1 year ago

Left up and added to the vendor source page log.

This is why the template has a batch field. Without it the result is about a vial nobody can identify.

permalink

comment on stalled for 12 weeks at 10mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/retatrutide · 38 points · 1 year ago

Careful with the rankings. A phase 2 result and a phase 3 result are not on the same evidential footing and cannot be listed in one table.

permalink

comment on [Discussion] the ACHIEVE advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/orforglipron · 9 points · 1 year ago

Milligram-for-milligram comparison with an injectable peptide is not meaningful and I should not have made it.

permalink

comment on triple agonist: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/retatrutide · 46 points · 1 year ago

Small fix — three receptors, not two. GLP-1, GIP and glucagon, and the third one is the reason this compound gets its own board.

permalink

comment on [Discussion] perimenopause is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/glp1women · 17 points · 1 year ago

That is a general statement about gastric emptying, and the question was about a specific product.

permalink

comment on [Discussion] we are measuring test results at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/labresults · 85 points · 1 year ago

What was the claim on the certificate you are comparing against?

permalink

comment on [Vendor] QSC vs Homopeptide on the same compound, same month — both cleared 98.5% in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 1 year ago

Adding the standing caveat: none of this is approved anywhere and research material is not for human use.

Disagree with this specific inference. A 48-week readout does not tell you the shape of the curve after it.

permalink

comment on [Lab] split one vial across Janoshik and Medutest — 98.7% and 98.3% in c/hplc · 11 points · 1 year ago

a blank injection between samples costs four minutes and settles most arguments

permalink

comment on how much of what we believe about ACHIEVE actually comes from ATTAIN threads in c/orforglipron · 1 points · 1 year ago

Disagree. You are comparing doses across a small molecule and a peptide, which is not a comparison of anything.

permalink

comment on [Meta] the chromatogram rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/hplc · 41 points · 1 year ago

Area percent is the integrated area of your peak over the total integrated area at one wavelength on one gradient. Change any of those and the number changes without the sample changing.

permalink

comment on [Discussion] LC-MS is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/hplc · 258 points · 1 year ago

reproducibility beats resolution if you only get one of them

permalink

comment on my fasting insulin moved and I cannot work out whether contraception is why in c/glp1women · 63 points · 1 year ago

iron and ferritin questions come up here more than anywhere else on the site

permalink

comment on 7 months in and cycle is still the thing I get wrong in c/glp1women · 122 points · 1 year ago

Brought the cycle-annotated log to an appointment and it changed the conversation completely.

permalink

comment on TRIUMPH: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/retatrutide · 12 points · 1 year ago

Sceptical of the extrapolation. Forty-eight weeks does not tell you about seventy-two, and the curve shape is exactly what is unknown.

permalink

comment on how much of what we believe about HPLC actually comes from method development threads in c/hplc · 48 points · 1 year ago

Disagree. Inter-lab spread of a point or two on this assay is ordinary and calling it a discrepancy misleads people.

permalink

comment on do test results actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/labresults · 82 points · 1 year ago

How many separate lots does your series cover?

Adding the boring but useful bit: say whether you paid for it. It is the basis of the whole log.

permalink

comment on reading oral GLP-1 threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/orforglipron · 39 points · 1 year ago

I would not assume the tolerability profile transfers exactly. Similar class effects, different exposure profile.

permalink

comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about triple agonist until somebody posts a number in c/retatrutide · 2 points · 1 year ago

Is that the 48-week figure or an earlier readout?

permalink

comment on [Lab] split one vial across Janoshik and Medutest — 95.1% and 99.3% in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 2 years ago

The thing that surprised me was how much of the discussion here is inference rather than measurement.

permalink

comment on [Discussion] the below spec advice in here is 2 years out of date in c/labresults · 17 points · 2 years ago

Small fix — same supplier, different lot. The two rows in the log are not the same batch.

permalink

comment on someone explain phase 2 to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/retatrutide · 463 points · 2 years ago

Phase 2 estimates effect and finds a dose range. Phase 3 estimates it precisely in a bigger population and catches what phase 2 was too small to see. Treating them as the same tier of evidence is the recurring error here.

permalink

comment on [Lab] 14th independent test on GGPeps — 98.3% on a claimed 97.5%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/labresults · 103 points · 2 years ago

vendor, compound, batch, service, result — that is the template

permalink

comment on [Question] small molecule — what am I missing here in c/orforglipron · 1 points · 2 years ago

the tolerability profile reads broadly similar to the class

chidi_yilmaz is right that milligram comparisons across classes tell you nothing.

permalink

comment on [Lab] ERP cagri — PeptideMeter came back 98.8% against a claimed 98.0% in c/hplc · 889 points · 2 years ago

the column has a history and it shows in the peak shape

permalink

comment on what would you tell week-1 you about dose escalation in c/retatrutide · 118 points · 2 years ago

a lot of the confident posting here is extrapolation

permalink

comment on [Lab] 5th independent test on HJ — 99.2% on a claimed 99.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/labresults · 67 points · 2 years ago

date of analysis matters as much as the number

permalink

comment on help me understand below spec, I have read the wiki twice in c/labresults · -24 points · 2 years ago

post the claim next to the result or the number floats

permalink

comment on [Question] is 94.2% actually fine or am I being sold a rounding error in c/hplc · 113 points · 2 years ago

Agreed. Two analysts, one trace, two integration choices, and a spread that has nothing to do with the vial.
