Neuroprotective effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists in neurodegenerative Disorders: A Large-Scale Propensity-Matched cohort study

Abstract

This study provides evidence that the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists may extend beyond their known metabolic and cardioprotective benefits to include neuroprotection, associated with a decreased risk of developing various neurodegenerative disorders. These findings suggest the potential for expanding the therapeutic applications of GLP-1 receptor agonists to improve neurocognitive outcomes. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these neuroprotective effects and to explore their clinical applications in neurodegenerative disease prevention and treatment.
