An early RCT in 44 patients with obesity and subclinical binge eating showed that liraglutide was better than diet and exercise alone in reducing binge-eating scores at 12 weeks 220 , but a later investigation of 27 adults with BED comparing liraglutide against placebo did not find any differences in the number of binging episodes over 17 weeks 218
In individuals with T2DM, the risk of fractures was assessed using a network meta-analysis and systematic review to determine the relationship between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), GLP-1 RAs, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i)
This includes gastroparesis (a condition that happens when the stomach empties its contents more slowly than usual)
The enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-IV) cleaves it between the second and third residues which renders it inactive within several minutes, and explains why GLP-1 cannot be used as a drug itself
They named it a triple agonist because it targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors
