Conversely, in a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving twenty healthy volunteers, a once-weekly injection of a GLP-1R agonist, dulaglutide, for three weeks did not influence HPA axis activity, showing no significant effects on circadian rhythms of blood or salivary cortisol secretion, and the level of this hormone also was not changed after the dexamethasone suppression test in comparison with the placebo-receiving group [78]
Real-world data indicate that tirzepatide lowers blood pressure and improves renal function, supporting its role in the cardiorenalmetabolic axis [61]
The development of low-cost generic drugs and new delivery methods (such as oral formulations) is the key to solving this problem
