GIP and GLP-1 function by tissue (WP5509)
Homo sapiens
Functions of GIP and GLP-1, two agonists of which are found in the weight-loss drug tirzepatide (a.k.a. Mounjaro). "Pancreatic and exopancreatic function of glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypepide (GIP) and glucagon‐like peptide (GLP)‐1. GIP acts directly on the endocrine pancreas, bone, fat, gastrointestinal (GI) tract and brain. GLP‐1 acts directly on the endocrine pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, heart and brain." From Figure 2 in https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4020673/.
