Dual melanocortin‐4 receptor and GLP‐1 receptor agonism amplifies metabolic benefits in diet‐induced obese mice

We assessed the efficacy of simultaneous agonism at the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor (GLP‐1R) and the melanocortin‐4 receptor (MC4R) for the treatment of obesity and diabetes in rodents. Diet‐induced obese (DIO) mice were chronically treated with either the long‐acting GLP‐1R agonist liraglut…
