Ghrelin rebound
BiologicalProcess
Phenomenon where hunger hormone levels spike after stopping GLP-1 medications, sometimes exceeding pre-treatment levels.
GLP-1 medication discontinuation
BiologicalProcess
Stopping GLP-1 medication (tirzepatide or semaglutide), which typically leads to appetite signal changes and potential weight regain.
Glycation
BiologicalProcess
Non‑enzymatic binding of sugars to proteins, forming AGEs that accumulate, cross‑link structural proteins, and drive inflammatory and oxidative damage via RAGE.
Glycation-related skin changes
BiologicalProcess
Skin dullness, yellowing, stiffness, and slowed repair caused by long‑term AGE buildup, producing a pattern distinct from chronological ageing or UV damage.
Gut microbiota
BiologicalProcess
The community of gut microorganisms that modulates immune signalling, inflammation, and microbial metabolites with downstream effects on skin barrier function and disease risk.
Gut-skin axis
BiologicalProcess
The bidirectional communication system linking gut microbiota, immune signalling, and microbial metabolites to skin inflammation, barrier function, and disease susceptibility.
