Abstract
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a severe gastrointestinal condition with symptoms like pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, expressed in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues, have been found to affect gut motility. GLP-1 and its analog ROSE-010 have been shown to inhibit the migrating motor complex and decrease gastrointestinal motility in IBS patients.
Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess the efficacy and safety of GLP-1 receptor agonists in providing pain and symptom relief for individuals with IBS.
Methods: The study conducted extensive searches across various databases, including Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, to identify studies on IBS and related drugs. A search strategy using keywords and medical subject heading terms (MeSH) was developed to ensure inclusivity. Exclusion criteria included non-English language studies, books, conference papers, case reports, in vitro studies, animal studies, and non-original articles.
Results: The study found that ROSE-010 (100 µg) significantly lowered pain intensity in IBS patients compared to a placebo, with an overall odds ratio of 2.30, 95% CI: 1.53-3.46. ROSE-010 (300 µg) is more effective than a placebo for all irritable bowel syndrome subtypes, with consistent effects across trials. ROSE-010 is linked to a greater incidence of nausea, vomiting, and headache than placebo.
Conclusion: ROSE-010, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has been shown to reduce pain in individuals with IBS. However, its higher frequency of nausea, vomiting, and headache suggests the need for close monitoring and individualized treatment plans. Further investigation is needed to understand its impact on different IBS subtypes and long-term effects.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Endocrinology is a field journal of the "Frontiers in" journal series.
In today’s world, endocrinology is becoming increasingly important as it underlies many of the challenges societies face - from obesity and diabetes to reproduction, population control and aging. Endocrinology covers a broad field from basic molecular and cellular communication through to clinical care and some of the most crucial public health issues. The journal, thus, welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of endocrinology.
Frontiers in Endocrinology publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Endocrinology. The mission of Frontiers in Endocrinology is to bring all relevant Endocrinology areas together on a single platform.
