Newer dual agonists, such as tirzepatide (which targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors), may have different tolerability profiles, though they can also cause similar gastrointestinal effects
GLP-1 peptides may degrade through oxidation, deamidation, hydrolysis, or isomerization reactions
Brain Health and Neurological Benefits Exciting research shows that GLP-1 medications may have impressive effects on brain health: They reduce the risk of Alzheimers disease and dementia They help protect against Parkinsons disease They lower the risk of seizures They may reduce stroke risk and improve recovery after stroke They show benefits for Huntingtons disease in early studies A January 2025 study from Washington University found that people taking GLP-1 medications had a decreased risk of neurocognitive disorders like Alzheimers
