Neural
GLP1RAs suppress the consumption of palatable foods by reducing dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens.
Understanding this mechanism can help in developing strategies to manage palatable food consumption.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
GLP1RAs recruit a discrete population of Glp1r-expressing neurons in the central amygdala, which selectively suppress the consumption of palatable foods by reducing dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens.
