Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a major therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Agonists showing bias in favour of G protein signalling over β-arrestin recruitment and GLP-1R internalisation, e.g. tirzepatide and orforglipron, have favourable clinical efficacy profiles. However, understanding of the effects of biased agonism has been hampered by differences in...
