The progress in GLP-1 medicines for #obesity was not easily predicted. In 1998 @ScienceMagazine ran a series on Regulation of Body Weight, informed by advances in mouse and human #genetics Understandably, little attention to the GLP-1 pathway at that time #weightloss www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excited to share our new GLP-1 receptor agonist study! Chronic semaglutide potentiates motivation for small food rewards and associated cues, but reduces intake when food is freely available—surprising twist! #GLP-1, #behavior #neuroscience #pharmacology 1/
