Dorsomedial hypothalamus GLP-1R are known to be expressed in the neurons of the DMH of mice and humans, and previous studies have emphasized its role in regulating metabolic responses by exendin-4 [68,69]
More recent preclinical studies have demonstrated that the central genetic activation of GIPR + neurons in the hypothalamus may also reduce food intake and promote weight loss [65], findings consistent with the peripheral administration of long-acting degradation-resistant GIPR agonists in mice with diet-induced obesity [66]
