In murine models, the activation of GLP-1 receptors within the VTA has been shown to attenuate the synaptic strength of the VTA-NAcc pathway,154 although GLP-1 receptor expression in VTA neurons is relatively sparse.155 Rat studies indicate that GLP-1 receptor activation in the VTA can enhance dopaminergic neuronal activity via presynaptic mechanisms.156 Despite preclinical evidence and limited clinical trials, the precise influence of GLP-1 receptor stimulation on the effects of abused drugs and alcohol remains unclear
Clinical Decision-Making Framework Risk Stratification Approaches Effective perioperative management of GLP-1 RA therapy requires systematic risk stratification incorporating patient factors, medication characteristics, and procedural considerations [22] (Table 3)
Having a pouch and wanting to reduce the frequency of bowel movements per day (for example) would not qualify a patient for a prescription according to the licensed indications
Adequate GLP-1 activity is associated with better glycaemic control, healthy weight management, and potential metabolic benefits
The initial screening process eliminated 157 articles according to established inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 51 studies being selected for detailed review and final analysis
