Scientific research continues to support their role in improving energy, mental clarity, immune function, and recovery
The intriguing possibility that these agents might influence cancer progression has prompted researchers to explore their effects beyond diabetes management
Of these rare syndromes, THMD3 (also called Amish-type microcephaly or Amish lethal microcephaly) has the more severe phenotype, resulting in a congenital microcephaly, elevated concentrations of -ketoglutarate in urine, and usually death in infancy (121)

Known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), these drugs mimic the natural hormone GLP-1, which binds to and activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, regulating blood sugar levels and reducing food intake
Regular reassessment of the risk-benefit balance ensures that therapy remains appropriate as patients' clinical circumstances evolve
