The cardiovascular protective mechanisms of GLP-1 receptor agonists are thought to include: Improved glycaemic control , reducing endothelial dysfunction associated with hyperglycaemia Weight reduction , decreasing metabolic stress and inflammation Blood pressure lowering , potentially through effects on fluid balance and vascular function Favourable lipid profile changes , including modest reductions in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides Anti-inflammatory effects , reducing systemic markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein [20] [21] Regulatory bodies including the MHRA and EMA have not identified thrombotic events as a specific safety concern with GLP-1 receptor agonists
The trials that support it were conducted in a population with a specific metabolic condition, and generalizing those results to general obesity is not straightforward
