While it is possible that intestinally-derived GLP-1which enters the blood circulation but is rapidly degradedcan access a small subset of GLP-1Rs that lie outside the blood-brain barrier, the natural source of GLP-1 that binds to GLP-1R in the brain comes from within the brain itself, said Rinaman
Specifically, HC induced a significant change in 15 proteins (i.e., 9 and 6 up- and down-regulated, respectively) involved in autophagy, including the down-regulation of NPC1 (Nieman-Pick type C) and QSOX1 (quiescin sulfhydryl oxidase 1) and the up-regulation of HMOX1 (heme oxygenase 1) and KDM4A (lysine demethylase 4A)

Future research should investigate the underlying causes of these disparities and develop targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to GLP-1RA in cancer patients, particularly considering their expanding use and benefits across other comorbid conditions, including obesity
