glp-1 drugs side effects Adverse of Receptor Agonists GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss:

It built on the success of earlier GLP-1s by engaging a second pathway, the Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) receptor , leading to unprecedented weight loss results, often exceeding 20% of body weight

Recent studies have found that increased level of GLP-1 in the hippocampus restores GABA and reverses this neurotoxic effect by reducing oxidative stress through the SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, promoting autophagy through the AMPK/mTOR pathway, and alleviating hippocampal apoptosis by inactivating pro-apoptotic kinase GSK-3 ( The anorectic effects of GLP-1 can also be explained by its GABAergic modulation in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) cells

These medications are usually given by subcutaneous injection, with dosing frequencies ranging from daily to weekly

When compared to daily injections, the simplicity of a once-weekly dosing schedule dramatically improves patient compliance
