Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have shown efficacy in the treatment of metabolic disease-related complications, partially attributable to their anti-inflammatory properties. However, the specific cell types and pathways involved in these effects were not fully understood. A recent study by Wong et al. demonstrated the importance of the brain GLP-1R in mediating the anti-inflammatory effects of GLP-1RAs in Toll-like receptor and sepsis-mediated inflammation. In this discussion, we review the existing literature on the action of GLP-1RAs in inflammation and explore the implications of these recent findings.
