Abstract Objective: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) lower plasma glucose through effects on insulin and glucagon secretion and by decelerating gastric emptying
doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(18)32260-8
The future of GLP-1 RAs lies in their potential to address a wider array of metabolic disorders, supported by ongoing research and innovation (43)(47).GLP-1 receptor agonists, when integrated into comprehensive treatment plans, serve as tools in improving the lives of patients with T2DM and obesity
Higher doses (1.52.4 mg) typically produce stronger weight loss signals but may increase the likelihood of persistent side effects like delayed stomach emptying or appetite loss that affects nutrition intake
