FIGURE 2 Patch-clamp studies testing the effects of bath-applied GLP-1 demonstrated that activating the receptor in hippocampal neurons evoked acute membrane potential changes, proving that GLP-1 receptors exist in the hippocampus and can induce acute neuronal changes ( 140 reduced the frequency of miniature inhibitory and excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) (mIPSCs) in rat CA1 pyramidal neurons
By improving insulin function, GLP-1 medications can help: Reduce insulin resistance Support sustainable weight loss Improve metabolic health Stabilize blood sugar Lower androgen excess For many women with PCOS, addressing insulin resistance is one of the most effective ways to improve hormone balance and long-term health
FGL supports recovery from neural injuries, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, by promoting neural survival, stimulating neurogenesis, and reducing neuroinflammation
In addition, there are a few conserved residues (e.g., Asp67, Trp72, Pro86, Gly108, and Trp110) that form specific interactions within the extracellular domain (see Figure 4 insets)

These side effects can be incredibly serious and can cause conditions such as stomach paralysis or gallbladder disease
