Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists – Potential Game Changers in the Treatment of Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a common ocular neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons. It is the most common cause of irreversible blindness.

Exenatide Improves Bone Quality in a Murine Model of Genetically Inherited Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with skeletal complications, including an increased risk of fractures. Reduced blood supply and bone strength may contribute to this skeletal fragility.

The pharmacology and function of receptors for short-chain fatty acids [PDF]
Despite some blockbuster G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) drugs, only a small fraction (∼15%) of the more than 390 nonodorant GPCRs have been successfully targeted by the pharmaceutical industry.

The role of ECL2 in CGRP receptor activation: a combined modelling and experimental approach [PDF]
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor is a complex of a calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), which is a family B G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor activity modifying protein 1.

The effects of species ortholog and SNP variation on receptors for free fatty acids [PDF]
Although it is widely assumed that species orthologs of hormone responsive G protein-coupled receptors will be activated by the same endogenously produced ligand(s), variation in potency, particularly in cases where more than one receptor responds to the

Extracellular loops 2 and 3 of the calcitonin receptor selectively modify agonist binding and efficacy. [PDF]
Class B peptide hormone GPCRs are targets for the treatment of major chronic disease. Peptide ligands of these receptors display biased agonism and this may provide future therapeutic advantage.

Structure and dynamics of semaglutide- and taspoglutide-bound GLP-1R-Gs complexes
Summary: The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) regulates insulin secretion, carbohydrate metabolism, and appetite and is an important target for treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Multiple GLP-1R agonists have entered into clinical trials,

Adverse effects of GLP – 1 Receptor Agonists
Introduction and purpose Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP – 1 RAs) are indicated in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity because of their high efficacy in controlling blood glucose levels and inducing weight loss.
