In contrast to the enhancement of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic transmission (Mietlicki-Baase et al., 2013), using retrograde labeling of VTA to nucleus accumbens (NAc) medial shell projecting neurons, in vitro patch-clamp recordings showed that exendin-4 selectively inhibits the miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) within the dopaminergic VTA-to-NAc projection neurons (Wang et al., 2015

The increase in potential exposure in recent years is apparent from our study, in which, among a broader cohort of more than 2.1 million pregnancies, the prevalence of GLP-1 dispensing in the 90 days prior to the last menstrual period and conception increased from 2 per 1,000 in 2020 to 15 per 1,000 in 2024, Brown explained
GLP-1 RAs stimulate the pancreas to create more insulin, a hormone that essentially gobbles up the glucose in your blood.12 That extra insulin leads to a reduction and balancing of blood sugar, which allows your body to more effectively regulate its fat stores without creating new, excessive adipose tissue
