Tirzepatide, a GLP-1 and GIP receptor coagonist, was also approved for treating T2D and obesity
The role of GLP-1R in DM is principally to regulate glycemic control by stimulating insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon secretion, and improving insulin signaling, thereby reducing blood glucose levels

Movement supports sleep, digestion, and mood without demanding a huge fuel budget
Sequence variants of interleukin 6 (IL-6) are significantly associated with a decreased risk of late-onset alzheimer's disease
GLP-1 is not really physiologically essential for body weight but pharmacologically, has changed the field of obesity, said Daniel Drucker, a senior scientist at the Lunefield-Tanenbaum Research Institute who researches treatments for type 2 diabetes but was not affiliated with the new study
