It is a structural analogue of human glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which can mimic its effect, reduce hunger, reduce diet, and reduce calorie intake
Furthermore, human microglial cells were documented to express H-3 receptors that are responsible for their activation (147)
The results showed that after the mice were injected with MPTP, the behavioral performance of ALDH2 KO mice was significantly worse than that of WT mice, and the number of TH-positive neurons in the SN was significantly reduced
In July 2023, the European Medicines Agency 206 and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) 230 started a review of these medications safety following reports of worsening mood and suicidal behavior observed in GLP-1RA users
They further demonstrated that GLP-1RA dulaglutide treatment restored lysosomal function in LAMP3 overexpressing mice, thereby preventing lysosomal membrane permeability and cell death in vivo [283]
They emphasize need for longer studies with careful subtype tracking
