Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists have emerged as a groundbreaking class of medications for managing type 2 diabetes and associated metabolic disorders. These agents not only improve glycemic control by increasing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon levels but also promote significant weight loss, enhance cardiovascular and renal health, and offer potential neuroprotective benefits. Their multifaceted mechanisms include appetite suppression, increased energy expenditure, and direct neuroprotective effects. GLP-1 agonists have shown recent benefits in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as reducing the risk of stroke. This review highlights the therapeutic potential of GLP-1 agonists in diabetes management and beyond, advocating for continued research to optimize their clinical use and explore new therapeutic avenues.
