WEDNESDAY, July 23, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are associated with reduced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-related dementia risk compared with metformin, according to a study published online July 22 in BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care.Mingyang Sun, from the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University in China, and colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from a global health research network between 2004 and 2024 to examine the comparative effectiveness of GLP-1 RAs and metformin in reducing dementia risk
Some of these compounds not only directly affect TC cells by reducing their viability, proliferation, or their ability to migrate to the metastatic side, but also indirectly affect cancer progression by regulating the secretion of pro-tumorigenic chemokines in the TC microenvironment
