María J. Gonzalez-Rellan, Daniel J. Drucker
Abstract
GLP-1 medicines, initially developed for blood glucose and weight control, improve outcomes in people with cardiovascular, kidney, liver, arthritis, and sleep apnea disorders, actions mediated in part through anti-inflammatory and metabolic pathways, with some benefits partly independent of the degree of weight loss achieved.
