This graphic highlights just how system-wide their effects really are 👇 The Upside (why everyone is paying attention): ✅ Metabolic control ↑ Insulin secretion ↓ Glucagon ↑ Glucose uptake (muscle, adipose) ↓ Hepatic glucose production ✅ Weight loss drivers ↓ Gastric emptying → earlier satiety ↓ Appetite (central nervous system) ↑ Lipolysis & thermogenesis ✅ Cardiorenal benefits ↑ Cardioprotection ↑ Diuresis/natriuresis Improved lipid & fatty acid metabolism ✅ Potential neurological benefits Signals around neuroprotection, synaptic function, and motor activity The Tradeoffs (often under-discussed): ⚠️ GI tolerability Slowed motility → nausea, bloating, constipation ⚠️ Muscle & lean mass considerations Weight loss isn’t purely fat → risk of lean mass loss without intervention ⚠️ Pancreatic biology Chronic β-cell stimulation + remodeling dynamics still being studied ⚠️ System-wide modulation These are not “targeted” drugs, they actually alter multiple organ systems simultaneously ⚠️ Long-term unknowns Especially around chronic use in non-diabetic, younger populations Any we've missed here
