Abstract

Gut-hormone polyagonists may achieve weight reductions of up to 20%-30%.

  • GLP-1-based polyagonists target multiple hormone receptors to promote weight loss.
  • These treatments may also improve blood sugar levels and conditions like fatty liver and kidney disease.
  • Potential cardiovascular benefits are associated with these new pharmacological interventions.
  • This approach offers a non-surgical alternative to bariatric surgery for weight management.
