11 A separate and highly replicated finding is that GLP-1 RAs directly target molecular systems implicated in neurogenesis, neurodifferentiation, neuroplasticity (Neuro-GDP), neuroprotection, and apoptosis ( 12 For example, GLP-1 RAs increase synthesis of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), proteins integral to neurotrophic processes
However, COC use is also associated with impaired fasting glucose, insulin resistance, and an elevated risk of thromboembolic events (85)
