-Arrestin-Mediated Signaling The role of -arrestin-2 in GLP-1 receptor signaling exhibits concentration-dependent complexity that reconciles its seemingly contradictory functions through distinct molecular mechanisms operating at different agonist concentrations

Neves JS, Borges-Canha M, Vasques-Novoa F, et al

Binding of GLP-1 or a synthetic hormone receptor agonist to the GLP-1R on the surface of HEK-Blue GLP-1 cells triggers a signaling cascade leading to the activation of the CRE-binding Protein (CREB) pathway and the subsequent production of SEAP

Public Plan Spending Context The Globe and Mail reports that public plans spent $794 million on Ozempic in 2024, and if plans cover Mounjaro, it could cost them an estimated $1.97 billion over three years, about $820 million more than the plans currently spend on comparable drugs over a similar period [Source: theglobeandmail.com/business/economy/article-canada-drug-agency-mounjaro-recommendation-type-2-diabetes/]
