Gradual dose titration, as recommended in FDA labeling, remains the most evidence-based strategy for minimizing gastrointestinal adverse effects regardless of administration time
While both drugs are effective, tirzepatide's dual-agonist mechanism, targeting both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, is widely believed to be the reason for its weight loss results in clinical studies
Thus, based on the clear and direct role of Y1-R in promoting glucose uptake in muscle, the lack of any response to GLP-1R agonism, and the glucose-reducing effects of GEP44 observed in our previous studies 16 , we predicted that GEP44 would also promote glucose uptake via interactions with the Y1-R

An expression construct encoding a human FLAG-tagged GLP-1R in pcDNA3.1, along with a hygromycin-resistant gene, was created by FLAG for subcloning a PCR product-tagged human GLP-1R into a cytomegalovirus promoter vector
