GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are transforming the treatment of obesity and diabetes (and more). Our recent pre-print examined next-gen small molecules mimicking GLP-1, using humanized mouse models to uncover how they interact with brain circuits driving food consumption. 1/

A recent Northwestern Medicine study led by Lisa Beutler, MD, PhD, assistant professor of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Molecular Medicine, identified novel neural circuits modulated by the diabetes and obesity medications semaglutide and tirzepatide that help suppress appetite.
Hear Dr. Beutler explain these findings further:
