It's a big week for GIPR pharmacology! Two great studies out in @natmetabolism.nature.com from Gutgesell et al (www.nature.com/articles/s42...) and Liu et al (www.nature.com/articles/s42...) revealing divergent neural mechanisms engaged by GIPR agonism vs antagonism. Commentary here: rdcu.be/ejPSA

With an editorial from the expert, Dr. Alice E. Adriaenssens @cambridgeuni.bsky.social disentangling divergent neural networks that explain the success of both GIPR gain and loss of function strategies for promoting #weightloss #obesity @naturemetabolism.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s42...

The OG GLP-1 medicine twice daily Exenatide from the salivary gland of Heloderma Suspectum to the clinic for type 2 #diabetes Approved by the @US_FDA April 28 2005. Happy anniversary to the groundbreaking molecule that launched a new class of transformative medicines #T2D

While the latest GLP-1 medicines are “new” exenatide was approved April 28 2005. Congratulations to John Eng, Amylin Pharma and the hundreds of visionary persistent investigators who gave birth to the class of GLP-1 medicines for type 2 #diabetes www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiHH...

Congratulations @stephxie.bsky.social already a star @uhntoronto.bsky.social @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social

Rare GLP-1 medicine results #T2D #obesity in the real world. How to interpret? Some validation thoughts from Deo & Sattar @cp-trendsendomet.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/endoc...

The sky is not the limit. Higher semaglutide doses up to 16mg qw for type 2 #diabetes and overweight or #obesity provide modest additional glucose-lowering effect, with additional weight loss, at the expense of more AEs and treatment discontinuations diabetesjournals.org/care/article...
