SHAWN STEVENSON: Boom
GLP-1 GLP-1, which controls appetite
Liu Z, Zhang M, Zhou T, Shen Q, Qin X: Exendin-4 promotes the vascular smooth muscle cell re-differentiation through AMPK/SIRT1/FOXO3a signaling pathways
Interestingly, GLP-1 is also known to decrease the rewarding effects of food intake by interacting with parts of the mesolimbic dopamine system such as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), nucleus accumbens (NAc) [34], and also GABAergic circuits in the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (LDTg) [35], which makes brain GLP-1R signaling a promising target for the treatment of alcohol and cocaine abuse disorders [36, 37]
Its role is surprisingly broad
