The cardiovascular protection offered by GLP-1 receptor agonists stems from several complementary mechanisms: Anti-inflammatory effects through suppression of CRP, TNF-, and other inflammatory markers Substantial weight reduction, particularly with higher doses of newer agents Blood pressure modulation via direct vascular effects and enhanced natriuresis Improved endothelial function and lipid profiles Renal protective effects, including reduced albuminuria and slowed eGFR decline Though initially established in type 2 diabetes populations, recent evidence from the SELECT trial confirms these benefits extend to non-diabetic patients with obesity and established cardiovascular disease
A 5% reduction represents real metabolic improvement, though it may suggest your current dose is suboptimal for your body's response pattern
