A Dual GLP-1/GIP Receptor Agonist Is More Effective than Liraglutide in the A53T Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease

Overview of the proposed mechanism of clearance of α-synuclein. Autophagy is compromised in the A53T tg mouse model. Activating the GLP-1 and GIP receptors increases autophagy in neurons via CREB signalling, thereby reducing the levels of α-synuclein in the substantia nigra and the striatum.
