The оbject оf this questiоn is to push you to think. You must use the informаtion we've covered in this course to synthesize the аnswer. Mаke sure that you touch on each of the five points that are outlined in the question. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a naturally occurring hormone that is known to suppress glucagon release. A recent new wave of "wonder drugs" that are GLP-1 agonists are being prescribed to treat obesity, among other things. Examples of these drugs include Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound. It is quickly becoming one of the highest selling treatments on the market, even though it is still unclear if there will be any long term side effects. Most don't even fully understand how it works even though it is being touted as a silver bullet. Lucky for you, you took this Physiology course. Using what you learned about the endocrine system, speculate how you believe this drug works relative to the endocrine system. (1) What is an agonist and what do you think is the action of this drug? (2) What organ and what cells normally release the hormone that this drug suppresses? (3) Even though naturally occurring GLP-1 suppresses one hormone from this organ, it also known to stimulate the release of another very important antagonist hormone from the same organ. What is the hormone, what cells release it and what does it do? (4) Since you know two of the basic functions of the drug and their targeted endocrine pathways, how would the drug impact these two defined endocrine pathways and the other physiological systems we've discussed? (5) What benefit would you speculate the drug would have for patients with Diabetes Mellitus?
