Although both pharmacological approaches target GLP-1, important differences exist concerning the mode of administration (subcutaneous injection versus oral ingestion), the efficacy (better with GLP-1 agonists), the effects on body weight and systolic blood pressure (diminution with agonists versus neutrality with gliptins), the tolerance profile (nausea and possibly vomiting with agonists) and the cost (higher with GLP-1 receptor agonists)
The overall scope is to review macronutrient fuels for energy and their routing to tumors, and how this may or may not constrain tumor catabolism

Clinical evidence, encompassing trials, epidemiological investigations, and findings from animal toxicology and histological studies, has revealed potential associations between GLP-1RAs and the risk of neuroendocrine tumors and exocrine pancreatic dysplasia, with some evidence suggesting an increased risk of pancreatic cancer [6]
