GLP-1s & Your Liver

GLP-1s, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, are a class of medications used to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, and other conditions. These drugs mimic GLP-1, a hormone that affects insulin release, slows stomach emptying, and affects satiety. Early studies suggest that GLP-1 drugs can benefit liver health as well.
