The researchers found that for both GLP-1 RA users and controls, there was an increase in the incidence of NSHL, telogen effluvium (TE), androgenetic alopecia (AGA), and alopecia areata between 2014 and 2024
Given when these medications were approved, the sample had a high proportion of diabetics
We were able to single out a protein, Med14, whose activation downstream of GLP-1 helps reprogram pancreatic beta cell gene expression to improve the cells viability and insulin production. Often simply called GLP-1 drugs or GLPs, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a hormone our bodies naturally make
Marginal structural models were used to evaluate the association between GLP-1RAs and MACE risk, accounting for time-varying confounding using inverse probability weighting, although residual confounding cannot be fully excluded
