Abstract

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) is associated with obesity in human genome-wide association studies. Similarly, mouse genetic studies indicate that loss of function alleles and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide overexpression both protect from high-fat diet–induced weight gain. Together, these data provide compelling evidence to develop therapies targeting GIPR for the treatment of obesity. Further, both antagonists and agonists alone prevent weight gain, but result in remarkable weight loss when codosed or molecularly combined with glucagon-like peptide-1 analogs preclinically. Here, we review the current literature on GIPR, including biology, human and mouse genetics, and pharmacology of both agonists and antagonists, discussing the similarities and differences between the 2 approaches. Despite opposite approaches being investigated preclinically and clinically, there may be viability of both agonists and antagonists for the treatment of obesity, and we expect this area to continue to evolve with new clinical data and molecular and pharmacological analyses of GIPR function.

  • Combining a GLP-1 agonist with a GIP receptor antagonist provides more weight reduction than a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist alone.

    “recent research has shown that combining a GLP-1 agonist with a GIP receptor antagonist will also provide more weight reduction than with a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist alone.152”

    From GLP-1 receptor agonists and next-generation incretin-based medications: metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal benefits (2026) · cites this paper as [152]

    The “Synergism of GIPR Therapeutics With GLP-1RAs” section reports greater weight loss with a GIP receptor antagonist plus a GLP-1 receptor agonist in preclinical models. The “Pharmacological Antagonism” section identifies those models as mice and obese nonhuman primates. The unqualified prediction that the combination “will” provide more weight reduction goes beyond the evidence reported here; no page number is available for these passages. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • GIP antagonism is a potential obesity treatment as in preclinical studies it improved the metabolic profile and reduced food intake.

    “GIP antagonism is also a potential obesity treatment as in preclinical studies improved the metabolic profile and reduced food intake [54–56].”

    From What is the pipeline for future medications for obesity? (2025) · cites this paper as [56]

  • Whole-genome association studies have shown associations between different activity levels of human GIP receptor variants and the degree of obesity.

    “Whole-genome association studies have shown associations between different activity levels of human GIP receptor variants and the degree of obesity [60].”

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.
