They work by blocking the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which is responsible for breaking down incretin hormones, particularly glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)
Both effects decrease over time with ongoing treatment because of tolerance and tachyphylaxis.8,20e24 After 8 weeks of treatment with liraglutide (a long-acting GLP-1 RA), gastric emptying returned to near baseline values.23 Of note, contrasting effects have been found with shorter acting GLP-1 RAs that retained delayed gastric emptying over time.23 Although associated with reduced oral intake and a beneficial loss of weight in overweight and obese patients, these effects might worry anaesthesiologists given the theoretically increased risk of aspiration
