Abstract

A reduction in alcohol intake was observed when salmon calcitonin was added to ongoing dulaglutide treatment in both male and female rats.

  • Combining salmon calcitonin and dulaglutide initially decreased alcohol intake in rats of both sexes.
  • Tolerance to the treatment was noted when salmon calcitonin and dulaglutide were administered simultaneously.
  • The combination of these treatments consistently reduced food consumption and body weight in both male and female rats.
  • No changes were observed in inflammatory mediators or the gene expression of amylin or GLP-1 receptors.
  • Alterations in fat tissue morphology were noted due to the treatment combination.
