Participants taking semaglutide or tirzepatide reported significantly lower alcohol intake, fewer drinks per episode, and lower binge drinking odds compared to before starting medication
GLP-1 receptor agonists as promising anti-inflammatory agents in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

The studys results, published in JAMA Psychiatry , suggest that the similarities in outcome between the two approaches do not include that potential downside
First, GLP-1 causes an increase in satiety and a decrease in hunger leading to decreased food intake [11]
