A Sequential Dual GLP-1R/GIPR Agonist-To-Antagonist Molecule Achieves Superior Weight Loss in Obese Mice.

BACKGROUND: The GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and GIP receptor (GIPR) are key targets for diabetes and obesity therapies. RESULTS: Our findings revealed that the sequential molecule GLP-1(A8G)/GIP(1-30)-Fc produced the greatest body weight reduction (21.59%), significantly outperforming GLP-1(A8G)/GIP(3-30)-Fc (14.5%; p < 0.001).
