Effects of GLP-1 on Blood Sugar and Insulin Sensitivity GLP-1 receptor agonists exert significant beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, which are central to their therapeutic value
Moreover, liraglutide 3.0 mg (i.e., the dose level approved for weight management for this GLP-1 RA) in combination with lifestyle intervention markedly reduced the presence of visceral fat over a period of 40 weeks ( The reductions in ROS and systemic inflammation, in combination with improvements in the other cardiometabolic parameters, are also thought to mediate the substantiated but so far formally unconfirmed kidney-protective effects of GLP-1 RAs, which may also directly or indirectly carry a HF-related benefit, considering that CKD is a prominent risk factor for HF (von Scholten et al., 2022)
