Resumo

As principais indicações para o uso dos agonistas do receptor de GLP-1 referem-se ao controle da obesidade e a pacientes diabéticos, no entanto, seu uso tem sido sugerido em novas abordagens terapêuticas. O estudo objetiva elencar as vantagens clínicas do uso de agonistas do GLP-1 no tratamento do diabetes mellitus e identificar novas implicações terapêuticas em outras doenças crônicas. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, realizada por meio de levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados MEDLINE® via PubMed®. De acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade, foram selecionados 28 artigos. Constatou-se que os benefícios dos agonistas do GLP-1 vão além do controle glicêmico. O fármaco proporciona perda de peso substancial com baixo risco de hipoglicemia. A terapia demonstrou impactos pleiotrópicos sistêmicos, consolidando ações de cardioproteção e nefroproteção que reduzem eventos cardiovasculares adversos e retardam a progressão da doença renal. A literatura também apontou potencial anti-inflamatório, melhora de marcadores de esteatose hepática e efeitos neuroprotetores promissores contra as doenças de Alzheimer e Parkinson. Conclui-se que a prática médica passa por uma mudança de paradigma, na qual esses fármacos atuam como modificadores do risco cardiometabólico e multissistêmico. Enquanto as evidências para obesidade e desfechos cardiorrenais são sólidas, a prescrição direcionada a quadros hepáticos e neurodegenerativos ainda requer cautela e ensaios clínicos específicos.
