Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a novel class of antidiabetic drugs that also possess lipid- lowering and cardiovascular protective effects, with liraglutide and semaglutide being their representative medications. Based on a systematic literature search, this review summarizes the lipid-lowering mechanisms by which liraglutide and semaglutide exert direct effects on the liver and kidney (regulating autophagy, key lipid metabolism pathways, reverse cholesterol transport, etc.), direct actions on adipose tissue (affecting adipocyte proliferation and differentiation, expression of lipid metabolism proteins, and gene transcription), activation of sympathetic pathways through the central nervous system, and modulation of the gut microbiota. Additionally, it summarizes the clinical evidence of their lipid-lowering effects in populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus, overweight individuals, and others. These findings indicate that GLP-1 receptor agonists exert lipid-lowering effects by acting on multiple tissues or systems, providing crucial evidence for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms of these drugs in lipid regulation and exploring potential new ideas for their clinical applications.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral sulfate solution (OSS) for bowel preparation.Methods:A multi-center, randomized, single-blinded, positive-controlled and non-inferiority clinical study was conducted. Participants were randomized to receive two bottles of OSS or 4-liter polyethylene glycol (Ⅲ) (PEG) regimen. The primary indicator was efficacy for bowel preparation. Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS) ≥2 scores in each segment was determined as effective. Secondary endpoints included subjects' compliance, colonoscopy bubble evaluation, time interval of defecation after medication, time interval of defecation type Ⅶ (Bristol stool classification), the number of defecation, and the positive rate of colonoscopy (detection rate of polyps, non-polyp eminence, ulcers, etc.) were also recorded. The safety was evaluated by the incidence of adverse events and severe adverse events.Results:A total of 240 subjects from 4 hospitals were enrolled in the study, with 120 subjects in the experimental group (the OSS group) and 120 subjects in the control group (the PEG group). The full analysis set (FAS) showed that the bowel preparation success rates were 92.44% (110/119) in the OSS group and 91.60% (109/119) in the PEG group ( χ2=0.058, P=0.809) . The total BBPS score and the scores of each bowel segment were all higher in the OSS group than those in the PEG group ( P<0.05) in both FAS and per protocol set (PPS) except the score of left colon in the FAS. The satisfaction rate of bubble evaluation in the OSS group was higher ( 95.80% VS 89.08%, P=0.025). The compliance, positive rate of colonoscopy and safety of the two groups were comparable. Conclusion:Compared with 4-liter PEG regimen, OSS regimen shows similar bowel preparation quality, superior anti-foaming effect with acceptable safety.
