Metabolic state dictates liraglutide’s brain route to boost insulin! We reveal that tanycyte‑mediated transport into the hypothalamus is required for liraglutide’s insulin‑promoting action in lean but not obese subjects with potential implications for personalized GLP1 treatment 👉 rdcu.be/fqoje

Really pleased to share our review of evidence for the diverse roles of the #vagus in each phase of eating behaviour, and our thoughts on how dysfunctional vagal #interoception drives obesity pathogenesis. Hope it provokes some thoughts, and many experiments! 🧠📈 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
