GIP receptor co-activation enhances insulin secretion, improves lipid metabolism and modulates adipose tissue, stacking with GLP-1 effects for stronger metabolic and body weight outcomes.
Áreas de investigación
Studied in metabolic syndrome, obesity and type 2 diabetes models, and explored for NASH and combined cardiometabolic risk intervention.
