Conclusions GLP-1 receptor agonists have been shown to be effective in reducing body weight, liver injury indices, and liver fat content

GLP-1 side effects are primarily driven by the drugs effect on gastric emptying, insulin secretion, and appetite regulation

If lifestyle changes alone are not enough to maintain weight loss, your doctor may recommend you try a lower-cost anti-obesity medication, such as metformin or naltrexone/bupropion

These are just two examples in a larger familysome versions are engineered to resist that DPP-4 enzyme that normally breaks down GLP-1 so that their effect is really prolonged, while others are derived from animals and closely resemble the human version
