Abstract

Clozapine is the most effective antipsychotic, but its use is tempered by adverse metabolic effects such as weight gain, glucose intolerance and type II diabetes. Current interventions do not facilitate compelling or sustained improvement in metabolic status. Recent studies suggest that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) may play a key role in clozapine's metabolic effects, possibly suggesting that clozapine-associated obesity and diabetes are mediated independently through reduced GLP-1. As a result, GLP-1 agonists could show promise in reversing antipsychotic-induced metabolic derangements, providing mechanistic justification that they may represent a novel approach to treat, and ultimately prevent, both diabetes and obesity in patients on clozapine. GLP-1 agonists are already used for diabetes, and they provide a unique combination of glycaemic improvement and metabolically relevant weight loss in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, in the context of a currently favourable safety profile. Using GLP-1 agonists for clozapine-associated obesity and diabetes could be a potentially effective intervention that may reduce cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable patient population.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
