GLP-1 RAs shouldnt be taken by anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome
But as it stands, GLP-1 medications for weight loss currently go for $12,000 to $18,000 per patient per year
This perspective serves as a call to action for research and clinical innovation to address the psychosocial effects of GLP-1s on adolescents
These changes include altered blood sugar regulation, slower gastric emptying, and shifts in appetite signalingall of which can trigger headaches in sensitive individuals
Few drug categories have developed as quickly as GLP-1s
It has been hypothesized that a reduction in hepatic GCGR and signaling molecules affects a feedback mechanism acting on the pancreatic alpha cells, increasing glucagon secretion, and this liver-pancreas axis might contribute to fasting hyperglucagonemia (36)
