GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: Bridging Hepatic and Cardiovascular Outcomes

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 85-99, June 2026.
Endogenous GLP‐1 and exogenous GLP‐1 RAs activate GLP‐1R‐expressing vagal afferents in the portal vein, projecting to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). This input engages brainstem–hypothalamic circuits that regulate metabolic homeostasis. Hypothalamic efferent vagal output to the liver suppresses lipogenesis, enhances triglyceride export, and ...
