does glp-1 affect liver Frontiers Mechanisms and possible hepatoprotective effects

Introduction Our study has two objectives: (1) to evaluate the incidence and severity of food retention observed during esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs) in patients with and without history of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) use and (2) to create a grading scale to standardize the language regarding food retention

They work by inhibiting glucagon secretion, delaying gastric emptying, and suppressing appetite, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and promote weight loss.However, concerns have been raised in recent years over whether these medications reduce weight mainly via muscle mass loss, which could lead to physical frailty or sarcopenia.Led by assistant professor

Together, we're helping simplify care one person, one family, one community at a time

Understanding how these therapies interact helps you make informed decisions about your weight management and overall health strategy
