In a drug safety update, published on 28 January 2025, the MHRA cited findings of a recent European Medicines Agency (EMA) review of the available evidence for all GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 RAs, which concluded that data supports an association between the medicines and the potential risk of pulmonary aspiration during anaesthesia or deep sedation, owing to the delayed gastric emptying linked to these medicines
Potential direct anti-inflammatory mechanisms from preclinical and early clinical studies include: Modulation of immune cell function : GLP-1 receptor activation may reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine production from macrophages and other immune cells Reduction of oxidative stress : These medications may decrease reactive oxygen species production, which contributes to inflammatory processes Endothelial protection : GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve endothelial function and reduce vascular inflammation Inhibition of inflammatory signalling pathways : Including suppression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-B), a key regulator of inflammatory gene expression It's important to note that many of these mechanisms have been primarily demonstrated in laboratory or animal studies, with more limited evidence in humans
