Could incretin-based therapies be the future of neurodegenerative disease treatment? Originally for diabetes & obesity, GLP-1R agonists show promise in reducing neuroinflammation & enhancing brain health. A potential game-changer in #NDD management. nature.com/articles/s4225…

Neurodegenerative diseases share common hallmarks, such as protein aggregation, offering therapeutic opportunities. Targeting multiple shared mechanisms including GLP receptors could yield additive clinical benefits. Differences in affected brain regions drive distinct symptoms.

GLP-1 receptor agonists: more than glycemic control and weight loss. They reduce inflammation, improve cardiovascular & kidney health, and may benefit neurodegenerative & psychiatric conditions. Clinical trials are unlocking their full potential. #GLP1 nature.com/articles/s4225…

GLP-1 receptors are found in key brain regions tied to neurodegenerative diseases—hippocampus, brainstem (locus coeruleus), thalamus, amygdala, and cingulate cortex. Their widespread presence suggests therapeutic potential for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and progressive

Tirzepatide was superior to semaglutide with respect to weight loss and waist circumference at week 72. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Mean percent weight loss change was 21.6% with #tirzepatide vs. 15.4% with #semaglutide in SURMOUNT-5. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Tirzepatide leads to greater weight loss and waist reduction than semaglutide at max doses. In a 72-week study, tirzepatide users lost up to 21% of body weight vs ~10% with semaglutide. More tirzepatide users hit ≥10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% weight loss targets. Waist circumference
