In a new study, semaglutide given late in life increased median lifespan in female mice by more than 12% and improved various health markers. Semaglutide’s effect possibly went beyond caloric restriction [1]. Old mice, new drugs GLP-1 receptor agonists, which act on a hormone that regulates insulin secretion and appetite, have revolutionized obesity treatment, showing...

What do we lose when we lose weight? GLP-1-based drugs, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, have transformed obesity treatment. People on these...

Drugs that target the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor are widely used to treat type 2 diabetes and have also been well-documented for their cardiovascular and...
