Description
GLP-1R expression in cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelium GLP-1R expression extends well beyond pancreatic islets, with detectable presence throughout the cardiovascular system
These are the popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus (semaglutide), Mounjaro, Zepbound (tirzepatide), Trulicity (dulaglutide), Victoza and Saxenda (liraglutide), and Byetta or Bydureon (exenatide)
One human study has contributed to this identification as it shows that the hippocampal expression of GLP-1R is higher in patients with AUD than in controls (Farokhnia et al., 2022)
This equates to a 418 decline in per household spend when compared to non-user households
