Higher blood levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 are linked to feeding problems after traumatic brain injury

Elevated circulating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) may be linked to feeding intolerance in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

• Enteral feeding intolerance is a common complication in TBI patients.
• The mechanisms behind feeding intolerance in TBI cases are not well understood.
• There is a need for effective predictive tools for feeding intolerance in this population.
• This study explores the potential relationship between GLP-1 levels and feeding intolerance.
