When a GLP-1 agonist binds its receptor, it can activate two downstream pathways: cAMP (G-protein) pathway: Mediates the metabolic benefits (insulin secretion, appetite suppression, glucose control) Beta-arrestin pathway: Triggers receptor internalization and desensitization, and may contribute to nausea and vomiting Drugs that preferentially activate the cAMP pathway while minimizing beta-arrestin recruitment -- called "biased agonists" -- may maintain efficacy while reducing GI side effects
Thats why GLP-1s show up in clinical trials for cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, heart failure, dementia, NASH (fatty liver), and cancer
