Indeed, further electrophysiological studies demonstrated that exendin-4 predominantly activates presynaptic GLP-1R in NAc to increase the frequency of AMPA/kainate receptor-mediated mEPSCs
Subgroup analyses revealed important differences based on comparator drugs: GLP-1RAs demonstrated greater effectiveness than SGLT2 inhibitors in preventing MALOs (IRR: 0.93, 95%CI: 0.87-0.99, P = 0.043), than DPP-4 inhibitors in preventing hepatic decompensation events (IRR: 0.74, 95%CI: 0.66-0.83, P = 0.003), and than insulin therapy in averting HCC development (IRR: 0.32, 95%CI: 0.13-0.80, P = 0.033) [64]
But people can be super judgmental especially about taking a GLP-1 medication (but they can be super judgey about me being fat, too, so it's kind of a zero-sum game)
