The researchers found that those with a semaglutide/tirzepatide-type weight loss medication prescription were 50% less likely to have documented alcohol intoxication relative to those without a prescription after controlling for individual characteristics (see Figure below)
Predefined sensitivity analyses to determine potential confounding influence were conducted with the same statistical analysis set-up removing (1) patients with IIH without papilledema (IIH-WOP), and (2) patients with pre-existing migraine
Both GIP and GLP-1 are incretin hormones released in response to nutrient uptake in the gut, however GIP is responsible for ~2/3 of the total effect, allowing a synergistic effect with tirzepatides mechanism
GLP-1Rs are widely distributed in several cells, such as islet cells (especially -cells of the pancreas), endothelial cells, neurons, adipocytes, keratinocytes, lymphocytes, hepatocytes, smooth muscle cells, myocytes, Brunners glands in the duodenum, and myenteric plexus neurons in the gut 31,32,33,34
