Background and aims: Knowledge about the actions of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in humans is increasing, however understanding of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) expression and its relation with GLP-1 signaling remains incomplete
In cardiovascular disease , studies have found these medications provide cardiovascular protection, with a 1420% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a benefit understood to be at least partially mediated by anti-inflammatory pathways rather than glycemic control alone
Consistent with its proposed role in long-distance transport, OPT6 is highly expressed in the vasculature [161]

Beverly Tchang, MD, an assistant professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, and obesity medicine advisor for Ro, also noted to MNT that people who are at risk of frailty or sarcopenia (e.g., elderly) and taking a GLP-1 [drug] should be more mindful of incorporating resistance training to mitigate lean mass loss. Data from the United States suggest that some patients discontinue GLP-1 drugs within the first year, with one of the reasons being the cost of drugs
