2 Weight loss pharmacotherapies 2.1 GLP-1R and GIPR agonism reduce body weight in patients with obesity Early GLP-1R agonists were approved to treat T2D (13, 15, 16), but the potential weight lowering efficacy for this class of molecules first seen in rodents was not confirmed in humans until clinical trials with the first long-acting GLP-1 analogue, liraglutide (12)

The PlexusDx Precision Peptide Genetic Test ($99 add-on after your first month) analyzes GIPR (rs1800437), FTO (rs9939609), and MC4R (rs17782313) variants that relate to GLP-1 and related signaling pathways
Scientific literature frequently discusses these peptides in relation to cellular signaling, matrix turnover, migration, angiogenesis, and inflammatory pathway research
