Side-effect profile is similar to GLP-1 agonists
In a rat model of diabetes-induced testicular dysfunction, liraglutide reduced testicular TGF- and Smad2 mRNA expression levels [26], whilst in HUVECs, liraglutide attenuated high glucose and IL-1-induced TGF- signalling (via inhibition of Smad2 phosphorylation), leading to reduced endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) marker expression [27]
While genetics alone does not determine medication efficacy, understanding your predisposition profile can provide valuable context for provider discussions about expected response timelines and dose requirements
