Abstract

A total of 130 common genes were identified that are associated with diabetes-related processes and cardiovascular diseases through interaction network analysis of GLP1R agonists.

  • GLP1R agonists may influence gene and metabolite interactions related to metabolic and cardiovascular health.
  • The analysis highlighted enriched terms for hypertension, calcium regulation in heart cells, and amino acid metabolism related to cardiovascular diseases.
  • Gene sets associated with longevity and conditions like fatty liver disease were also observed.
  • Behavior-related terms and gastric acid secretion were linked to GLP1R/GIP interactions.
  • Stronger network-level associations were found between GLP1R agonists and heart diseases compared to sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors.
  • The study emphasizes the role of GLP1R agonists in clarifying mechanisms and therapeutic potential in cardiovascular health.
