7-9 GLP-1 signaling has been shown to promote microglia-mediated expression of neurotrophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth factor, to promote neuronal survival and inhibit stress pathways in neurodegenerative conditions
That number is likely even higher today when you consider that the same survey found that 32% of adults in 2024 said they've "heard a lot" about the drugs, up from 19% year over year
Whereas GLP-1 decreases plasma glucose levels by exerting insulinotropic effects, glucagon stimulates hyperglycemia by enhancing hepatic glucose output
Together, they form a powerhouse supplement for optimal health
Edelman: SGLT2 inhibitors (Farxiga, Invokana, Jardiance, Steglatro) and GLP1-RAs (Adlyxin, Byetta/Bydureon, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Trulicity, Victoza) have now become two of the most important classes of medications for type 2 diabetes
