RT Journal Article T1 Anti-inflammatory effects of GLP-1 receptor activation in the brain in neurodegenerative diseases A1 Diz Chaves, Yolanda Maria A1 Mastoor, Zainab A1 Spuch Calvar, Carlos A1 González Matías, Lucas Carmelo A1 Mallo Ferrer, Federico K1 3205.07 Neurología K1 3209 Farmacología K1 2302 Bioquímica K1 2411.11 Neurofisiología AB The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a pleiotropic hormone well known for its incretin effect in the glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion. However, GLP-1 is also produced in the brain and displays a critical role in neuroprotection and inflammation by activating the GLP-1 receptor signaling pathways. Several studies in vivo and in vitro using preclinical models of neurodegenerative diseases show that GLP-1R activation has anti-inflammatory properties. This review explores the molecular mechanistic action of GLP-1 RAS in relation to inflammation in the brain. These findings update our knowledge of the potential benefits of GLP-1RAS actions in reducing the inflammatory response. These molecules emerge as a potential therapeutic tool in treating neurodegenerative diseases and neuroinflammatory pathologies.
