However, the lipoatrophic diabetes observed in patients with lipodystrophies differs significantly from common type 2 diabetes in several regards, typically with significantly reduced adipose mass, dysregulation of adipose derived hormones including leptin and adiponectin, dyslipidaemia, more severe insulin resistance and significant hyperinsulinemia (2, 4, 6)
This means the molecule is designed to activate three metabolic hormone systems simultaneously: GLP-1 signaling associated with appetite and glucose response pathways GIP signaling connected to insulin signaling and nutrient metabolism Glucagon signaling linked to energy mobilization and metabolic flexibility By activating these three hormone pathways at the same time, researchers may observe complex metabolic signaling interactions that cannot be produced by single-receptor compounds
