Abstract

The lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) of HEC-C070 was 30 nmol/kg in toxicity studies.

  • HEC-C046, with high glucagon receptor selectivity, showed significant weight loss and improvements in metabolic parameters but raised safety concerns.
  • HEC-C052, which has the lowest glucagon receptor activity, resulted in less weight loss compared to the selective GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide in diet-induced obese mice.
  • HEC-C070 demonstrated moderate glucagon activity and had a notable impact on weight loss and liver function in obese mice.
  • The study evaluates the effects of different dual receptor agonists on weight and liver health in various obese mouse models.
