Scientific studies have reported associations between GLP-1 drugs used for weight loss and increased rates of gastroparesis, bowel obstruction, and pancreatitis, though each claim still depends on individual medical proof

Unless you live under a rock, youve heard about injectable GLP-1 agonist drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide (brand names Ozempic and Mounjaro, respectively) that fall under a class of medications called incretin mimetics
4.2 Hepatic metabolic modulation effects by GLP-1RAs GLP-1RAs replicate the action of the incretin hormone GLP-1, which primarily involves boosting insulin release, reducing glucagon secretion, and increasing feelings of fullness, ultimately leading to improved glycemic control and supporting weight management (Xu et al., 2024)
