Is AST a better monitoring choice than ALT on a GLP-1 receptor agonist?

Asked 24 Nov 2024Modified 20 months agoViewed 35k times

The specifics, since they change the answer: AST · ALT · a GLP-1 receptor agonist.

The comparison I want does not seem to exist anywhere in a form I can evaluate.

I have read the arguments for each and they do not engage with each other.

Which axes does this decision turn on?
