Common adverse effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists include: Gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation) Injection site reactions Headache Fatigue Dizziness Important safety considerations include: Risk of hypoglycaemia when used with insulin or sulfonylureas (dose reduction of these agents may be needed) Potential worsening of diabetic retinopathy with semaglutide in patients with pre-existing retinopathy Risk of dehydration and acute kidney injury from persistent vomiting or diarrhoea Pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and potential thyroid C-cell tumours (observed in rodent studies, though human relevance remains uncertain) Patients should be counselled about persistent severe abdominal pain as a potential warning sign of pancreatitis requiring immediate medical attention
Acute pancreatitis is linked to the development of gallstones, which are listed as a side effect with GLP-1 drugs
The findings provided a proof of concept for this therapeutic strategy by demonstrating the efficiency of clorgyline, rasagiline, and selegiline in inhibiting MAO and decreasing endogenous DOPAL synthesis [40]
The 4-PBA group showed mild sinusoidal congestion with focal hepatocyte necrosis as manifested by nuclear pyknosis, karyorrhexis, and karyolysis with cytoplasmic eosinophilia (Figure 8A), yet it significantly attenuated histopathological scoring compared to MTX-group (Figures 8BD)
