New WHO guidance on GLP-1 medications With GLP-1 injections becoming increasingly popular and new GLP-1 weight-loss pills on the horizon, its only fitting that the World Health Organization (WHO) has just released new guidance on the meds
We recently reported how a dual strategy based on both pharmacokinetically preferential acylation and G protein-directed biased agonism could optimise GLP-1R therapeutic efficacy (Lucey et al ., 2020)
Additionally, lower mean CPK was also observed in the intervention group, which was statistically significant ( p = 0.019
However, in some cases, it progresses and causes complications, such as organ failure (mainly in the liver and kidney) [6], septic shock, pulmonary edema, severe pneumonia, and ARDS, which eventually may lead to death [7]
