Safety, benefits, and anti-inflammatory actions of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor treatments in inflammatory bowel disease

Updated

Abstract

The prevalence of obesity among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising.

  • Obesity in IBD patients is associated with worse disease outcomes.
  • Diminished treatment response is observed in obese individuals with IBD.
  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) may be safe and effective for IBD patients with obesity.
  • The study explores potential anti-inflammatory mechanisms of GLP-1RA in this context.
