Brain-Derived GLP-1—Understanding the Physiological Function and Anti-obesity Potential of Preproglucagon Neurons
Abstract. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced within the central nervous system (CNS) by preproglucagon (PPG) neurons. This brain-derived GLP-1, ra

Interested in brain access for Tirzepatide-based drugs? Have a look at the fluorescent Tirzepatide analogue developed by Johannes Broichhagen and David Hodson @daveyboyhod.bsky.social out now in Nature Metabolism www.nature.com/articles/s42.... Proud to contribute to this great multi-lab effort.
Fluorescent GLP1R/GIPR dual agonist probes reveal cell targets in the pancreas and brain - Nature Metabolism
A series of fluorescent probes is designed that act as dual agonists on both GLP1 and GIP receptors, and are used to image receptor binding activities in tissues and animals.

The Trapp Lab has moved to BlueSky. No better way to start this than with a new paper.
We are excited to alert you to the latest study on the involvement of brain GLP-1 in stress responses led by our @CCMN_London and Trapp Lab
