Mechanism of Action Pancreas: Increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion, decreases glucagon Brain: Enhances satiety Stomach: Slows gastric emptying Main Indications Type 2 diabetes mellitus Obesity/weight management Cardiovascular risk reduction Common Drugs Exenatide Liraglutide Semaglutide Dulaglutide Tirzepatide (dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist) Key Benefits Significant weight loss Low hypoglycemia risk Cardiovascular protection Major Side Effects Nausea/vomiting (most common) Pancreatitis (rare) Thyroid C-cell tumors (boxed warning) Contraindications Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) Personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma #Pharmaceuticals #GLP1 #Diabetes #Obesity #Healthcare #Biotech #ClinicalResearch #Endocrinology #MedicalAffairs GLP-1 Analogues: Mechanism, Indications, and Side Effects GLP-1 Analogues : Definition Synthetic versions of the natural hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) that are resistant to DPP-4 breakdown, providing longer-lasting effects
More interestingly, research has found that using siRNA to knock down the Growth factor independence 1 (Gfi1) gene in chondrocytes, or overexpressing this gene via intra-articular AAV-Gfi1 injection, inactivated the MAPK signaling pathway, subsequently observing downregulation of ferroptosis promoters such as Cox2 and Acsl4 and upregulation of ferroptosis inhibitors such as GPX4 and SLC7A11, ultimately alleviating cartilage degeneration, osteophyte formation, and synovitis, and improving OA progression (Jin et al., 2025)
