Neuroprotective effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues in epilepsy and associated comorbidities [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition induced by losing equilibrium of different pathway as well as neurotransmitters that affects over 50 million people globally. Furthermore, long-term administration of anti-seizure medications has been associated with psychological adverse effects. Also, epilepsy has been related to an increased prevalence of obesity and called type 2 diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, GLP-1 receptors are located throughout the brain, including the hippocampus, which have been associated to majority of neurological conditions, such as epilepsy and psychiatric disorders. Moreover, the impact of different GLP-1 analogues on diverse neurotransmitter systems and associated cellular and molecular pathways as a potential therapeutic target for epilepsy and associated comorbidities has piqued curiosity. In this regard, the anticonvulsant effects of GLP-1 analogues have been investigated in various animal models and promising results such as anticonvulsants as well as cognitive improvements have been observed. For instance, GLP-1 analogues like liraglutide in addition to their possible anticonvulsant benefits, could be utilized to alleviate mental cognitive problems caused by both epilepsy and anti-seizure medication side effects. In this review and growing protective function of GLP-1 in epilepsy induced by disturbed neurotransmitter pathways and the probable mechanisms of action of GLP-1 analogues as well as the GLP-1 receptor in these effects have been discussed.
