    Exenatide

    Exenatide is a synthetic GLP-1 receptor agonist originally derived from Gila monster venom (exendin-4). It promotes satiety, regulates blood sugar, and emerging research suggests neuroprotective effects including enhanced neurogenesis and reduced neuroinflammation.

    How It Works

    Exenatide binds and activates GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas, gut, and brain. In the CNS, it enhances insulin signaling, promotes BDNF expression, reduces neuroinflammation via NF-ฮบB inhibition, and supports mitochondrial function in neurons.
