Aim: To comprehensively evaluate the benefits and risks of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i), and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i).

Materials And Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from inception to November 2023 to identify randomized cardiovascular and kidney outcome trials that enrolled adults with type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease and compared DPP4i, GLP-1RAs, or SGLT2i to placebo. Twenty-one outcomes (e.

Over 10 % of the US population are prescribed glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) to combat obesity. Although they decrease cravings for foods, their influence on chemosensory function is unknown. We employed state-of-the-art quantitative taste and smell tests to address this issue.

Neuroprotective effects of GLP-1 class drugs in Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurological disorder primarily affecting motor control, clinically characterized by resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and other symptoms that significantly diminish the quality of life. Currently, available treatments only alleviate symptoms without halting or delaying disease progression. There is a significant association between PD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), possibly due to shared pathological mechanisms such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Introduction: Treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD) focus on symptom reduction through dopaminergic therapies, without clear evidence of disease-modifying effects. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists may reduce neuroinflammation by decreasing microglia activation in PD. Clinical trials suggest these agents have disease-modifying potential in PD.

Department of Cardiology, National University Heart Centre, Singapore.

Purpose Of Review: The heart - brain axis (HBA) is the physiological interactions between the cardiovascular and nervous systems through autonomic nerves, hormones, and cytokines. Patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of the cardiovascular and neurological diseases. However, recent evidence demonstrated that different antidiabetic drugs may delay cognitive impairment and improve cardiovascular outcomes.
