Central GLP-1R activation may boost BAT substrate clearance in rodents; hypothesis-generating for human metabolic therapies, needs clinical trials.
Does 5 day intracerebroventricular infusion of exendin-4 improve lipid and glucose uptake by brown adipose tissue in lean and diet-induced obese C57Bl/6J mice?
Central GLP-1 receptor activation by exendin-4 lowers plasma triglycerides and glucose by increasing sympathetic outflow and activating brown adipose tissue in mice.
Kooijman et al. (2015) studied this question.
