GLP-1 receptor agonists are emerging as a promising treatment for IIH, with early evidence that they may reduce intracranial pressure through weight loss and direct effects on CSF production
Receptor occupancy analysis demonstrates that 5 mg weekly tirzepatide engages the GLP-1R to a similar degree as 1 mg weekly semaglutide (47)
May your follicles stay active, your nutrients stay abundant, and your recovery stay steady.
In addition to acting through the p38 pathway, GLP-1RAs also promote the increase of PKA levels via the cAMP-dependent pathway, which in turn prevents the phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), resulting in the inactivation of the EGFR-STAT3 signaling pathway in tumor cells and subsequently downregulating several downstream effector genes such as myelocytomatosis oncogene (c-Myc), survivin, cyclin D1, Bcl-xl, and Bcl-2, thereby inducing apoptosis in tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner [70, 73]
