This regulatory effect is partly mediated via the AMPK/sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) axis, as knockdown of SIRT1 abrogated the lipid-lowering and autophagy-inducing effects of GLP-1RAs, highlighting a crucial role of this pathway in regulating lipid metabolism by facilitating degradation of lipid droplets, thus preventing excessive lipid accumulation (12)

Safety signals identified through extended follow-up include: Gastrointestinal effects : Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea remain the most common adverse events, typically diminishing over time but causing discontinuation in approximately 57% of patients Gallbladder disease : Increased incidence of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis, possibly associated with weight loss, though the exact mechanism remains under investigation Diabetic retinopathy : Risk of complications, particularly with rapid glycemic improvement in patients with pre-existing retinopathy Acute kidney injury : Risk associated with severe gastrointestinal adverse events leading to dehydration Pancreatitis : Rare cases reported, though causality remains uncertain
