A compelling area for future research is to investigate whether GLP-1-RAs modulate taste perception in part by altering the expression or signaling of leptin or cholecystokinin (CCK) in taste bud cells, creating an integrated hormonal milieu that fine-tunes taste sensitivity based on energy status
The latest findings contribute to the growing evidence that GLP-1 receptor agonists will continue to have a place in healthcare through prevention of progression of diabetes, CVD and kidney disease
