  • GLP-1s & Your Liver
    2025/03/12

    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. Explore the basics and what liver patients should know about GLP-1s with this month's guests:
