(146) observed significant blood-to-brain influx for non-acylated GLP-1 mimetics like exendin-4 and lixisenatide, whereas acylated GLP-1 analogues such as liraglutide and semaglutide showed minimal blood-brain barrier penetration in mice
Studies have found that both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can lead to modest reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure
