gip and glp-1 receptor agonist Frontiers Mechanisms of action and therapeutic

In fact, these may be some of the most potent anti-inflammatory medications outside of corticosteroid medications

GLP-1 agonists are thought to flip that switch back to the OFF or at minimum, act as a dimmer switch to tone down the intensity of the ON signaling thereby reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines

Each of these receptors, when activated, triggers distinct downstream cellular responses related to insulin secretion, glucose metabolism, appetite regulation, and energy homeostasis
