Activation of the GLP-1 receptor promotes feelings of satiety, leading to a reduction in food intake and improved weight management. Gastric emptying': GLP-1 receptor activation slows down the rate at which the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine. This delay in gastric emptying contributes to the feeling of fullness and aids ...
Combination GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonists provide the thermogenic benefits of glucagon activation while almost eliminating hyperglycemia induced by glucagon receptor activation. Several such drugs have reached human trials for obesity, diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease but adverse effects have hampered development.
A large study of more than 2 million people evaluated GLP-1 agonists' benefits and risks. The study showed that GLP-1 agonists reduced risk of substance use and psychotic disorders, seizures, neurocognitive disorders (including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia), coagulation disorders, cardiometabolic disorders, infectious illnesses, and several respiratory conditions.

As GLP-1 binds to GLP-1 receptors expressed on pancreatic β cells, the receptors couple to G-protein subunits and activate adenylate cyclase, which increases the production of cAMP from ATP. [3] Subsequently, activation of secondary pathways, including protein kinase A (PKA) and Epac2 , alters cell ion channel activity, causing elevated levels ...
VK2735 is a dual agonist of the GLP-1 receptor and GIP receptor, with a similar mechanism of action as tirzepatide, which acts on the same receptors. It is injectable and is being developed by Viking Therapeutics. [1] [2] [3]
At the GLP-1 receptor, though, tirzepatide shows bias towards cAMP (a messenger associated with regulation of glycogen, sugar, and lipid metabolism) generation, rather than β-arrestin recruitment. This combination of preference towards GIP receptor and distinct signaling properties at GLP-1 suggest this biased agonism increases insulin ...
Indole itself triggers the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in intestinal L cells and acts as a ligand for AhR. [2] Indole can also be metabolized by the liver into indoxyl sulfate , a compound that is toxic in high concentrations and associated with vascular disease and renal dysfunction . [ 2 ]
