Abstract

HFD-fed CNS-Gipr KO mice show decreased body weight and improved glucose metabolism.

  • The physiological relevance of GIPR in the central nervous system remains unclear.
  • Acute administration of acyl-GIP increases neuronal activity in hypothalamic feeding centers, which is linked to reduced body weight and food intake.
  • Chronic administration of acyl-GIP decreases body weight and food intake in wild-type mice but is less effective in CNS-Gipr KO mice.
  • The enhanced metabolic effect of GLP-1/GIP co-agonism compared to GLP-1 alone is not observed in CNS-Gipr KO mice.
  • CNS Gipr appears to play a crucial role in regulating energy metabolism.
