gip and glp-1 receptor agonist New strategies for the treatment of obesity metabolic dysfunctions Understand GLP-1/GIP Dual Agonist Tirzepatide
Description
As discussed below, the development of unimolecular multi-agonists that stimulate GLP-1 receptors and other receptors such as GIP receptors and glucagon receptors (GCGR) can have beneficial effects on metabolism and increase metabolic rate at tolerable doses [57]
