Effectiveness and safety of GLP-1 drugs in people with fatty liver disease linked to metabolism problems and liver inflammation

Updated

Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may improve outcomes in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

  • MASLD and MASH are increasingly common liver diseases associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
  • GLP-1 RAs could lead to weight loss and better blood sugar control.
  • Improvements in liver fat content may occur with the use of GLP-1 RAs.
  • The review examines both the effectiveness and safety of GLP-1 RAs in these liver conditions.
