GCG signaling Unlike GLP-1 and GIP receptors, GCG show robust hepatic expression, enabling direct hepatic metabolic effects
GGT is present in several organs, including the kidneys, pancreas, and heart, which is why an isolated elevation can require a wider review instead of an automatic assumption of liver disease (medical policy summary on GGT testing in adults)
In mouse models, dual agonism had superior efficacy for weight loss and glucose control compared to a GLP-1RA alone 9 , with additive effects of the GIPR proposed to act through signaling in beta cells 10 , alpha cells 11 , the CNS (central nervous system) 12,13 and adipocytes 14
