A majority with overweight/obesity discontinue within a year, but the rate is higher among those without type 2 diabetes.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist use is not associated with an increased risk for thyroid cancer over the short term.

The glucagon-like peptides GLP-1 and GLP-2 are synthesised and then released from enteroendocrine cells in the small and large intestine. GLP-1 promotes efficient nutrient assimilation while GLP-2 ...

For people with diabetes, the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) is associated with a reduced risk for certain disorders and conditions.
