GLP-1 Receptor Activation Metabolic Regulation GLP2 activates GLP-1 receptors with lower potency than endogenous GLP-1 but demonstrates biased signaling properties: Preferential cAMP pathway activation over beta-arrestin recruitment, which may enhance insulin secretory responses Suppression of inappropriately elevated glucagon secretion during hyperglycemia Reduced GLP-1 receptor internalization compared to native GLP-1, potentially extending signaling duration Contribution to glucose-dependent insulin secretion complementary to GIP receptor effects Research in isolated pancreatic islets demonstrated that GLP2s insulinotropic actions depend on GIP receptor presence, with the biased GLP-1 receptor signaling providing synergistic enhancement

By balancing the potential benefits and risks of treatment using evidence-based strategies, HCPs are well placed to help optimise the use of GLP-1 RAs in the management of obesity and overweight
