Based on preclinical studies, a systematic review of the neuroprotective mechanisms of GLP-1RA-based therapy in ischemic stroke [67] has shown that administration of drugs of this family before, during, or after an experimental stroke in animals with and without diabetes modulates an acute inflammatory response secondary to brain ischemia, reducing inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and excitotoxicity, as well as decreasing oxidative stress and apoptosis
A bolus SC dose, currently approved by FDA, of 2 mg of setmelanotide achieved a C max of 27.5 ng/mL with an AUC 24 h of 347 ng x h/mL, 10-fold lower than those observed in NHPs (96)
By acting similar to the natural hormone GLP-1, semaglutide targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake
