Cognitive Support and Alzheimer's Prevention Emerging research highlights GLP-1s potential in supporting brain health
For example, different types of cell death and key signaling cascades that are characteristic of most neurodegenerative diseases have been identified [99101]
GLP-1 agonists have emerged as a popular option for supporting weight loss, but many people wonder if they need to use these medications forever
This new molecule, by acting synergistically on combined systems known to be altered in T2DM [33, 34], could indeed expand the therapeutic potential of GLP-1 agonists/analogues, suggesting new scenarios in terms of improving glycemic control, weight management, and hopefully providing protection against chronic micro-macrovascular complications and not only limited to hepatic complications
The gastrointestinal tract and the brain are involved in a complex bidirectional communication, which is mediated by the endocrine, immune and neural pathways, involving a plethora of different neurotransmitters, cytokines and peptide hormones [98]
Like GLP-1 hormones, GIP hormones are triggered when you eat and increase insulin production
