Key Points: GI symptoms are the most common adverse effects, ranging from expected nausea and vomiting to gastroparesis and, rarely, functional obstruction Delayed gastric emptying has important airway implications and a cautious approach to airway management is warranted Biliary disease is one of the most clinically significant complications, particularly early in treatment and with rapid weight loss Pancreatitis is rare, and current evidence does not support a strong causal relationship EDKA and AKI are uncommon but important to recognize in the right context Conclusions: GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed the management of diabetes and obesity, with clear benefits in weight loss, glycemic control, and cardiovascular outcomes
Because multi-receptor designs can influence several tissues at once, robust studies rely on integrated biomarker suites
The band restricts the size of the stomach's upper pouch, making it difficult to consume adequate quantities of foods such as red meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products
This oxidative burst serves dual roles: while moderate ROS levels activate antiviral signaling, excessive ROS production triggers mitochondrial permeability transition, mtDNA release, and cell death (Kayesh et al., 2025)
