Most importantly, the effects of GLP-1RAs are not consistent 28
4.1 Future clinical and research applications 4.1.1 Future research directions While reassuring data are accumulating about the safety profile of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) used for diabetes and obesity management, there are still significant gaps in our understanding that justifies the need for well-designed multidisciplinary translational and clinical studies
When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, it may help enhance metabolic efficiency
Why are GLP-1 drugs so expensive
