Abstract
Aim
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the impact of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in individuals with diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or obesity.
Methods
A search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science until October 2023 identified 13 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) meeting the inclusion criteria. Bias risk was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias instrument. Statistical analysis utilized standard mean differences (SMD) in Review Manager 5.4. Heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. This study used the protocol registered with the Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols (INPLASY2023110020).
Results
GLP-1RA treatment significantly reduced VAT (SMD −0.55, 95 % CI [−0.90, −0.19]), SAT (SMD −0.59, 95 % CI [−0.99, −0.19]), body weight (SMD −1.07, 95 % CI [−1.67, −0.47]), and body mass index (BMI) (SMD −1.10, 95 % CI [−1.74, −0.47]) compared to controls. Heterogeneity was observed for VAT (I2 = 79 %, P < 0.01), SAT (I2 = 73 %, P < 0.01), body weight (I2 = 82 %, P < 0.01), and BMI (I2 = 82 %, P < 0.01). No publication bias was detected for VAT (P = 0.57) and SAT (P = 0.18). GLP-1RA treatment improved fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial glucose (PPG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4).
Conclusions
This meta-analysis highlights GLP-1RAs' potential to reduce fat accumulation, body weight, and BMI and improve glycemic control in individuals with diabetes mellitus and NAFLD or obesity. These findings supported using GLP-1RAs as promising therapeutic agents to address abnormal adipose tissue distribution and metabolic dysfunction.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications (JDC) is a journal for health care practitioners and researchers, that publishes original research about the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications. JDC also publishes articles on physiological and molecular aspects of glucose homeostasis.
The primary purpose of JDC is to act as a source of information usable by diabetes practitioners and researchers to increase their knowledge about mechanisms of diabetes and complications development, and promote better management of people with diabetes who are at risk for those complications.
Manuscripts submitted to JDC can report any aspect of basic, translational or clinical research as well as epidemiology. Topics can range broadly from early prediabetes to late-stage complicated diabetes. Topics relevant to basic/translational reports include pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, altered adipose tissue function in diabetes, altered neuronal control of glucose homeostasis and mechanisms of drug action. Topics relevant to diabetic complications include diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy; peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal disorders, renal failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
