GLP-1R agonists are used in treatment of type 2 diabetes<ref>PMID:21950636</ref>. | GLP-1R agonists are used in treatment of type 2 diabetes<ref>PMID:21950636</ref>. GLP-1 analogues can cross the brain-blood barrier and stimulate the GLP-1R in the brain. This stimulation is affecting mitochondrial functioning, protein aggregation, neuroinflammation, synaptic plasticity, learning and memory in models of Parkinson Disease and Alzheimer Disease<ref>PMID:26851597</ref>. | ||
