Later, using a low dose of bleomycin (10ug/mouse daily), the authors found that while wild-type C57BL/6J mice did not show signs of fibrosis at that dose, Mc1r e/e mice, deficient for MC 1 receptor on a C57BL/6J background, displayed obvious signs of fibrosis like increased skin thickness, collagen expression and levels of chemoattractant protein MCP-1, suggesting that the deficiency in Mc1r increases the susceptibility to develop bleomycin-induced fibrosis (194)
MB in Progeria MB has shown potential for the treatment of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), which is a genetic, premature aging disorder caused by a C to T de novo point mutation on exon 11 of the LMNA gene [93]
During this period, the synthesis and secretion of GLP-1 increase in NTS pre glucagon neurons, targeting BLA glutamatergic neurons, promoting the synthesis of BDNF, TrkB, CREB, and c-Fos proteins, facilitating neural repair, and leading to increased anxiety

GLP-1 may also inhibit ANG II action at post-receptor level
