One candidate chemopreventive agent class is glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), currently used to treat diabetes and obesity, Fasiha Kanwal, MD, MSHS, professor and section chief of gastroenterology at Baylor College of Medicine, and colleagues wrote in JAMA Internal Medicine
However, Saxenda has the limitation of having to self-administer it every day, forcing Novo Nordisk to develop an upgraded medicine with less administrative frequency with enhanced effects
Research suggests that GLP-1 receptors are present not only in the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract but also in key brain regions involved in reward processing and food motivation, including the nucleus accumbens and ventral tegmental area, though much of this evidence comes from preclinical studies
