Lack of GHSR gene and LEAP2 treatment increase liraglutide’s blood sugar lowering effects in male mice depending on their metabolic state

Updated

Abstract

GHSR inhibition may enhance the glucose-lowering effects of liraglutide.

  • Liraglutide is effective in lowering blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
  • Activation of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor is associated with increased blood sugar levels.
  • Inhibiting GHSR may improve the effectiveness of liraglutide in reducing blood sugar.
