Effects of GLP-1 receptor drugs in Alzheimer's disease and mild memory problems: a combined analysis

Updated

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in older individuals.

  • AD represents a significant clinical and socioeconomic challenge.
  • Current anti-amyloid therapies successfully reduce biomarker burden but may not provide optimal effectiveness or safety.
  • Emerging evidence suggests metabolic dysfunction and brain insulin resistance may play a role in AD development.
  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are being considered as potential therapies that could modify the disease.
