New study reveals how GLP-1 receptor agonists enhance preingestive fullness

GLP-1 receptor agonists promote the feeling of fullness before eating via neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus, according to a new study. The findings offer new insights into the neural pathways by which GLP-1 receptor agonists increase the feeling of fullness to prevent overconsumption of food, which is key in mitigating obesity. Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) plays an important role in signaling the feeling of fullness after eating.
