Geroprotective Effects of Drugs Modulating Metabolic Pathways: Perspectives of Pharmacology in Anti-Aging Therapy

Aging is the strongest risk factor for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Advances in geroscience indicate that pharmacological modulation of conserved molecular pathways may extend healthspan and delay multimorbidity.

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) and GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide)/GLP-1 Receptor Agonists for Antipsychotic-Induced Weight Gain: A Narrative Review

The clinical management of severe mental illness faces a profound longevity crisis, as second-generation antipsychotics, particularly clozapine and olanzapine, trigger severe weight gain and cardiometabolic complications that reduce life expectancy by 10 to 20 years.

Late-life semaglutide treatment slows ageing and extends lifespan in female mice

Pharmacological glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) activation reduces food intake and is an effective therapy for type 2 diabetes and obesity 1 . The use of GLP-1 medicines has revealed pleiotropic beneficial effects beyond glucose and weight control 2-5 , but little is known about the underlying basis of the pleiotropic effects.

Mechanisms of Hypertension in Women: Interactions Between Vascular Ageing, Metabolic Dysfunction, and Hormonal Regulation

Purpose: Hypertension in women is a dynamic, hormone sensitive condition shaped by cumulative physiological changes across the life course. This review summarises current evidence relating vascular ageing, hormonal regulation, metabolic dysfunction, and reproductive history to blood pressure regulation in women.

Citrus Changshan Huyou extracts as natural GLP-1R agonists attenuate atherosclerosis via the GLP-1R/PKA/CREB pathway: a functional food perspective

Atherosclerosis (AS)-triggered cardiovascular diseases constitute a major global public health crisis. The pathological progression of AS is characterized by abnormal lipid accumulation, inflammatory cell infiltration and atherosclerotic plaque buildup in arterial walls.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AS21 Attenuates Sex-Biased Glucose Intolerance in Aging Mice via Gut Mucosal Microbiota-Derived Citrulline

Aging-related metabolic decline, particularly impaired glucose tolerance, represents a growing challenge in aging populations. Probiotics are promising modulators of host metabolism; however, how sex differences influence their efficacy in mitigating metabolic aging remains poorly understood.

Anti-Obesity Medications in Longevity and Aesthetic Medicine

Anti-obesity medications (AOMs), led by the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) semaglutide and liraglutide and the dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide, have produced substantial weight reduction and growing signals of benefit that extend well beyond adiposity.

A Systems Pharmacology Model of Aging Identifies Optimal Combination Therapies With Secondary Benefits on Weight Loss and Metabolic Health

Aging is a systems-level process linking metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, impaired repair, frailty, and multimorbidity, whereas existing pharmacological strategies usually optimize disease-specific endpoints such as weight loss or HbA1c rather than aging-related trajectories.
