Around 4.9 million adults in Britain nearly one in 10 have already used or are considering weight-loss drugs, says Ali Morpeth, co-founder of the Planeatry Alliance
Additionally, TPO-Ab enhance pro-inflammatory cytokine responses to TPO in mononuclear cells (20), contributing to inflammation and extra-thyroidal diseases (49).Ott et al., demonstrated that elevated pre-operative TPO-Ab levels were significantly associated with fatigue, irritability, and reduced QoL in euthyroid patients undergoing surgery for benign goitre (18)
GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide (marketed under brand names Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus) and the dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist tirzepatide (marketed under brand names Mounjaro and Zepbound) are FDA-approved prescription medications for specific uses in type 2 diabetes management and, in some cases, chronic weight management
Furthermore, GLP-1RA treatment in patients with T2DM has been linked to decreased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) [75]
