Weight Loss: These medications can lead to weight loss due to their ability to reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying (which helps individuals feel full for longer), decrease glucagon production in the liver, and slow down the absorption of glucose from the gut.

Cardiovascular Benefits: Some GLP-1 receptor agonists have been shown to have cardiovascular benefits, including reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events.

Blood Pressure and Lipid Regulation: These medications can help improve blood pressure and lipid profiles in some individuals.

Preservation of Beta Cells: By promoting more controlled insulin release, GLP-1 receptor agonists may help preserve the function of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
