  • Obesity / overweight

    📍 Altasciences Clinical LA, Inc. · Cypress, CA · Get directions →

    The purpose of this study is to investigate how the duration of fasting and temporary stopping of Glucagon-Like-Peptide 1 (GLP-1) medications affect the amount of food left in the stomach in people using liraglutide (injected), semaglutide (taken by mouth) or semaglutide (injected). The length of participants participation in the study will depend on the type of GLP-1 RA treatment participants are already using.

    Impact GLP-1 Agonists Following Bariatric

    Testing whether GLP-1 medicines after bariatric surgery affect weight and blood sugar

    📍 University of Missouri Hospital · Columbia, MO · Get directions →

    Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glucose control.
