Optometrists should advise their patients that although these medications are conclusively linked to an increased risk of NAION, the overall risk is still extremely low: only about 2.30 per 100,000 people are diagnosed with NAION each year
[Acute neuropathy and liver injury following the abuse of nitrous oxide]
The primary mechanisms of action include: Enhanced insulin secretion : GLP-1 receptor agonists stimulate glucose-dependent insulin release from pancreatic beta cells, improving glycaemic control without causing hypoglycaemia when glucose levels are normal Suppressed glucagon secretion : These agents inhibit inappropriate glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, reducing hepatic glucose production Delayed gastric emptying : By slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach, GLP-1 medications prolong satiety and reduce postprandial glucose excursions Central appetite regulation : GLP-1 receptors in the hypothalamus and brainstem mediate reduced appetite and food intake, leading to decreased caloric consumption Regarding visceral fat specifically, some imaging substudies suggest GLP-1 receptor agonists may reduce visceral adipose tissue alongside subcutaneous fat
