GLP-1 drugs achieve some of these effects by directly affecting the brain’s cravings for food, and that might also extend to cravings for alcohol, said senior researcher Dr. Carel le Roux, chair of experimental pathology at University College Dublin in Ireland.

A weekly dose of semaglutide, a drug used to manage diabetes and weight loss, was effective in 63% of patients at treating a serious form of fatty liver disease, a new study has found.

First-generation GLP-1 weight-loss drugs can help reduce the risk of obesity-related cancers, new research shows. Liraglutide, exenatide, and dulaglutide were 41% more effective at preventing obesity-related cancers.

Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler shared his experience with GLP-1 weight loss drugs on "CBS Mornings Plus."

Reducing exposure to medicines is always a good thing if similar clinical outcomes can be achieved, and the study suggests it may be possible to improve the efficacy of semaglutide and other GLP-1 acting drugs, which can have side effects including nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, headache, and tiredness, amongst others.

New research has found that GLP-1 drugs can substantially reduce the risk of obesity-related cancers — and they’re more effective than getting weight loss surgery.

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide have exploded in popularity, with millions of Americans turning to them for weight loss. But are they the magic bullet for sustainable results? The

Weight-loss injections, or GLP-1 receptor agonists, could nearly halve the risk of obesity-related cancers, a new study finds amid rising global obesity rates.

They mimic a hormone in the body, GLP-1, that lowers blood sugar levels and makes people ... First generation GLP-1s and bariatric surgery are well-established weight-loss treatments, but their comparative effectiveness for the prevention of obesity ...

Neurologist Dr. Leah Croll talks about the new research suggesting they might help in treating people with alcohol use disorder.

David Kessler has lost more than 60 pounds on weight-loss drugs and believes they can change the trajectory of chronic disease in the United States.
