GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) act far beyond glucose control, intersecting with several hallmarks of aging
Their incidence increases with dose but typically decreases over time as the body adapts to receptor activation
The GLP-1 receptor arm drives glucose-dependent insulin secretion alongside suppression of pancreatic alpha-cell glucagon output, slows gastric emptying, and engages central nervous system appetite-modulating circuits in the hypothalamus and brainstem (PMID 39515565)
