Abstract

Aim: To test the hypothesis that food intake reduction after glucagon‐like peptide‐1 ( GLP ‐1) receptor activation is mediated through brain areas regulating anticipatory and consummatory food reward. Methods: As part of a larger study, we determined the effects of GLP ‐1 receptor activation on brain responses to anticipation and receipt of chocolate milk versus a tasteless solution, using functional MRI ( fMRI ). Obese subjects with type 2 diabetes, and obese and lean subjects with normoglycaemia (n = 48) underwent three fMRI sessions at separate visits with intravenous infusion of the GLP ‐1 receptor agonist exenatide, exenatide with prior GLP ‐1 receptor blockade by exendin‐9‐39 or placebo, during somatostatin pituitary‐pancreatic clamps. Results: Body mass index negatively correlated with brain responses to receipt of chocolate milk and positively correlated with anticipation of receipt of chocolate milk in brain areas regulating reward, appetite and motivation. Exenatide increased brain responses to receipt of chocolate milk and decreased anticipation of receipt of chocolate milk compared with placebo, paralleled by reductions in food intake. Exendin‐9‐39 largely prevented these effects. Conclusions: Our findings show that GLP ‐1 receptor activation decreases anticipatory food reward, which may reduce cravings for food and increases consummatory food reward, which may prevent overeating.

  • In humans, the administration of GLP-1RAs reduces appetite, decreases energy intake, and increases satiety.

    “In humans, the administration of GLP-1RAs reduces appetite, decreases energy intake, and increases satiety.”

    From GLP-1 single, dual, and triple receptor agonists for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity: a narrative review (2024) · cites this paper as [12]

    The ‘Effects of GLP-1 Receptor Activation on ad libitum Food Intake and Hunger Scores’ section reports reduced caloric intake during exenatide infusion in all three human groups. It also reports no significant differences in appetite or fullness scores, so this study does not establish the claimed appetite reduction or increased satiety. (LLM, conf=0.89)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
