In cardiomyocytes, GLP-1R activation has no significant effect on myocardial glucose metabolism under nonischemic conditions [23], but there is an increased expression of oxidative phosphorylation protein and a simultaneous downregulation of glycolysis pathways during the early phases of myocardial infarction [24]
Reconstituted peptides are thermally unstable and begin degrading within hours at room temperature
A number of published studies have put a fluorescent tag onto GLP-1R agonists, including exendin, liraglutide, and semaglutide, and then used the fluorescent labeling to visualize the distribution of the agonist in the brain (see, e.g., Gabery et al., 2020)
But they rely on frequent injections, proper skincare routine, and avoiding excessive sun exposure
