Abstract in brief

  • GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1 RAs) are a class of medications used to treat type 2 diabetes that work by increasing insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing appetite and body weight.
  • Over time, these drugs have been developed from early versions like exenatide, which required twice-daily injections, to newer formulations that are longer-lasting and can be administered once weekly or even taken orally, maintaining effective blood sugar control.
  • Due to their ability to lower HbA1c levels, promote weight loss, and carry low risk of hypoglycemia, GLP1 RAs are now recommended as the preferred injectable therapy for type 2 diabetes, often used alone or combined with other treatments like oral medications or insulin.

1- Very informative interview of Lotte Bjerre Knudsen, including the potential role for GLP-1 receptor agonists in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. She hypothesizes that the mechanisms of action could be ⬇️neuroinflammation & ⬆️stability of blood-brain barrier. #medsky #geronsky
