Our studies showed that the effect of liraglutide on body weight was not compromised in vagotomized animals, supporting the concept that GLP-1Rs in the brain, and not gut-to-brain communication, is mostly responsible for the weight loss effect (117)

These include: Gallstones and gallbladder issues, thought to be caused by rapid weight loss Pancreatitis studies have shown a higher risk for this condition while taking GLP-1 medications compared to other weight loss medications Gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying) though these medications are designed to slow down digestion, if it slows down too much, it can lead to other symptoms and complications Kidney damage, typically resulting from dehydration caused by other side effects A potential risk of thyroid cancer animal studies have shown an increased risk for thyroid C-cell tumors, though that risk has not yet been confirmed in humans GLP-1 medications can be a powerful tool for people to improve their health, but theyre not for everyone
