This section will briefly review what we know about the current safety data of GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP agonists, and factors that may promote long term clinical use of these agents in obesity

Research shows that a single exercise session, as well as long-term training, can enhance GLP-1 levels in the body for those who have type 2 diabetes, according to one review and meta-analysis
In PNA mice, GLP1/E therapy caused upregulation of pathways involved in the metabolism of non-coding RNA, estrogen-dependent gene expression, autophagy, vesicle-mediated transport, and signaling by nuclear receptors, whereas proteins related to inflammation (ROS and RNS production in phagocytes), cellular response to starvation, signaling by insulin receptor, apoptosis, and immune system were downregulated
