exendin 4 vs glp 1 Probing the N-terminal structure of GLP-1 and Exendin-4 with single Exendin-4 - GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
Description
Studies have found that GLP-1RA have similar effects in alleviating osteoporosis and preventing fractures (Nuche-Berenguer et al., 2010

While it also presents gastrointestinal side effects, its profile appears significantly more manageable and cleaner regarding liver safety signals, demonstrating a better balance of efficacy and tolerability

Thus, combining GIPR and GLP-1R agonism may enhance insulin secretion in patients with T2D by first rescuing dysfunctional beta-cells with GLP-1R agonism followed by additive effects on insulin secretion provided by both receptors

Because of observed effects on heart rate and blood pressure, metoprolol is added to increase its cardiac safety profile (141, 142)
