Potential role of GLP-1 receptor agonists in treating systemic lupus erythematosus

Updated

Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may offer benefits beyond glycaemic control.

  • GLP-1 RAs are associated with anti-inflammatory effects.
  • These agents may have anti-atherogenic properties, which could impact cardiovascular health.
  • There is potential for immunomodulatory effects in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
  • Metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, and chronic inflammation are prevalent in SLE patients.
