Abstract in brief

  • Obesity is a complex disease with multiple causes, leading to serious health risks and increased healthcare costs; effective weight loss can reduce these risks.
  • Major interventions for obesity include diet control, exercise, behavior modifications, and medications, with anti-obesity drugs showing good adherence but facing safety issues.
  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have emerged as promising treatments for obesity through their effectiveness demonstrated in various studies, offering hope for future obesity management strategies.

Review describes evidence from previous research on effects of GLP-1R agonists on #obesity. We anticipate that this review will generate data that will help biomedical researchers or clinical workers develop obesity treatments based on GLP-1R agonists. https://t.co/T1MsvogvxA https://t.co/YSVSfZiUKe

@tenobrus This is an outdated take. As others have pointed out, the issue of how GLP-1 receptor agonists work is much more complex than mere appetite suppression. I suggest you read this article from Frontiers in Endocrinology. https://t.co/F8BhRdC2VH
