Optimized GIP analogs promote body weight lowering in mice through GIPR agonism not antagonism

Objective: Structurally-improved GIP analogs were developed to determine precisely whether GIP receptor (GIPR) agonism or antagonism lowers body weight in obese mice. Methods: A series of peptide-based GIP analogs, including structurally diverse agonists and a long-acting antagonist, were generated...
