This reduces appetite, leading to lower calorie intake
Activation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) potentiates the exchange protein directly activated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate/phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (Epac/PI3K/Akt), cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA), and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase/sirtuin 1 (AMPK/SIRT1) pathways, which enhance mitochondrial function, autophagy, and metabolic reprogramming
Preclinical data on the mechanisms of potential sex differences in the endogenous GLP-1 system as well as the therapeutic effect of GLP-1 analogs, focusing on the effects of the drugs on the brain and behavior relating to appetite and metabolism, are highlighted
