Ars Live: What else can GLP-1 drugs do? Join us Tuesday for a discussion.
Briefly

Researchers have been toiling away at developing and understanding GLP-1 drugs for decades, stretching back to the 1970s, revealing their vast biological roles.
While GLP-1 drugs were initially thought to act through the gut, studies have found they operate through the brain, contributing to their therapeutic effects.
The presence of GLP-1 receptors in the central nervous system, heart, liver, and kidneys suggests their potential impact on a wide range of chronic conditions.
With ongoing discoveries regarding GLP-1 receptors, research continues to flourish, exploring their role in inflammation and other medical applications.
