Targeting brain pathways of glucose-related hormones to control metabolism in obesity and type 2 diabetes

Updated

Abstract

Incretin-based anti-diabetic treatments are primarily focused on central nervous system effects related to obesity and type 2 diabetes.

  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonists are key pharmaceutical interventions for obesity and hyperglycemia.
  • These treatments may significantly influence energy balance through their action on the central nervous system.
  • Understanding the neural pathways involved in these pharmaceuticals is becoming increasingly important for effective therapeutic strategies.
  • Recent insights into the central pathways of glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, and glucagon receptors highlight their roles in metabolic regulation.
