In consideration of the dual roles of GLP-1RAs in hypoglycemic effects and preventing CVD among T2DM patients, we reviewed the cardiovascular effects and molecular mechanisms of GLP-1RAs in CVOTs, animal models and cultured cells, and discuss how these findings transform pharmacotherapies for T2DM, and even expand the indication of this important category of anti-diabetic drugs to CVD patients without diabetes
If you are on semaglutide and are experiencing severe nausea, your provider may consider switching you to tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), which has a GIP component that can reduce nausea
In laboratory research settings, investigators track the rate of amino acid uptake in skeletal muscle tissues to document potential increases in lean mass development
Study designs often include safety/tolerability panels, adverseevent monitoring (e.g., GIrelated events), and lab chemistry trends over time
