The GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide reverses mania-like alterations and memory deficits induced by D-amphetamine and augments lithium effects in mice: relevance for bipolar disorder
The cystine/glutamate antiporter (System Xc ) is essential for glutathione synthesis, and its dysfunction exacerbates ferroptosis by impairing cystine uptake ( ROS are central to ferroptosis, as they drive lipid peroxidation
Findings were supported by a recently updated metanalysis of 15 trials involving 898 patients were included in this analysis, GLP-1R agonists were found to have a positive impact on left ventricle diastolic function, hypertrophy, and exercise capacity [90]
The truth is both simpler and more nuanced than most people expect
