Renoprotective mechanisms of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists

open access: yesDiabetes & Metabolism
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone, secreted from gut endocrine cells, which acts to potentiate nutrient-induced insulin secretion. Activation of its receptor, GLP-1R, decreases glucagon secretion and gastric emptying, thereby decreasing blood glucose and body weight. It is largely through these mechanisms that Glucagon-like peptide-

GDF8 and activin A blockade protects against GLP-1–induced muscle loss while enhancing fat loss in obese male mice and non-human primates

open access: yesNature Communications
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists act via appetite suppression and caloric restriction. These treatments can result in significant muscle loss, likely due to evolutionary mechanisms protecting against food scarcity as muscle is a major energy ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor: mechanisms and advances in therapy

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
AbstractThe glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, known as GLP-1R, is a vital component of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and is found primarily on the surfaces of various cell types within the human body. This receptor specifically interacts with GLP-1, a key hormone that plays an integral role in regulating blood glucose levels ...

A narrative review of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists prior to deep sedation or general anesthesia

open access: yesJournal of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Critical Care
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are a class of drugs that mimic a natural incretin hormone released by the intestine after meals, and they are well-suited for treating type 2 diabetes.
