Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are approved to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. The anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties of GLP-1 RAs as well as their moderating effects on multiple pathobiological pathways in asthma pathogenesis may decrease asthma exacerbations, improve quality of life, and decrease premature death among patients with asthma and co-morbid diabetes or obesity. The aim of this literature review is to discuss evidence from basic science, human studies, and clinical trials to support the preferential use of GLP-1 RAs in asthma patients with co-occurring diabetes and obesity. The preliminary data on the effect of GLP-1 RAson asthma in patients with diabetes are promising and merit further trials and research studies.
