Recent advances in incretin biology and therapeutics: From glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide reappraisal to next-generation agonists — Journal of diabetes investigation 2026
Future directions in incretin research: Three major directions currently shape therapeutic innovation in incretin research: multi-receptor agonism, oral drug development, and mechanistic reappraisal of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) physiology. These advances indicate that incretin-based therapies should be understood within an integrated enteroinsular network rather than through isolated hormone actions.

Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide Receptors Are Expressed in the Lateral Septum and Reduce Electrically-Evoked Dopamine Release as well as the Ability of Cocaine to Increase Extracellular Dopamine — ACS chemical neuroscience 2026
Tirzepatide, a dual agonist of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR), represents a new class of medication for obesity and type II diabetes treatment. Using laboratory mice, we show that GIPRs are present in the lateral septum (LS) in cells also expressing GLP-1R, particularly in the dorsolateral LS. Likewise, we show the coexpression of the dopamine (DA) D2 receptor (DRD2) in LS cells with GLP-1R in both the dorsolateral and intermediate portions of the LS. Using fast-scan cyclic voltammetry, we demonstrate that systemic GLP-1R or GIPR agonist treatment reduces both electrically evoked DA release in the LS and the ability of cocaine to increase extracellular DA levels. These data unveil a new central role for GIPR signaling and identify a potentially important cell type expressing both GLP-1R and GIPR upon which ti…

Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists usage to widen the living donor pool for liver transplantation: A novel metabolic strategy — World journal of transplantation 2026
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonists' use as a weight loss tool is gradually expanding. They can be used as bridging therapies to reduce weight in potential living donors for liver transplantation and improve graft quality. A living donor with high body mass index is likely to be declined in most living donor programs due to concerns about donor safety and graft function. Reducing weight before surgical procedures can improve outcomes and lower the incidence of morbidity and mortality. Growing clinical evidence supports the advantage of GLP-1 receptor agonists as well as GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonists as bridging therapies to minimize perioperative complications. However, these agents should be used with caution due to concerns about side effects, particularly delayed gastric emptying and the …
