GLP-1/GLP-1RAs: New Options for the Drug Treatment of NAFLD
Curr Pharm Des. 2024;30(2):100-114. doi: 10.2174/0113816128283153231226103218.ABSTRACTNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has recently emerged as a global public health concern. Currently, the cornerstone of NAFLD treatment is lifestyle modification and, if necessary, weight loss. However, compliance is a challenge, and this approach alone may not be sufficient to halt and treat the more serious disease development, so medication is urgently needed. Nevertheless, no medicines are approved to treat NAFLD. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an enteropeptide hormone that inhibits glucagon synthesis, promotes insulin sec...
