Abstract

Agonism and antagonism of the GIP receptor may improve metabolic outcomes when used alongside GLP-1 receptor agonism.

  • GLP-1 receptor agonism is widely recognized for its pharmacological benefits in combating obesity.
  • The role of the GIP system in metabolic regulation remains controversial, despite evidence supporting its beneficial effects.
  • Both GIP receptor agonism and antagonism have shown positive metabolic effects in preclinical and clinical studies.
  • There is accumulating evidence suggesting that GIP may have beneficial metabolic effects through its action in the brain.
  • Uncertainty exists regarding the specific locations and mechanisms of GIP action in the brain related to metabolism.
