[26] showed that liraglutide-dependent weight loss relies on its binding to GLP-1Rs located mainly in POMC/CART (cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript) anorexigenic neurons in the ARC, but an indirect inhibitory effect of agouti-related peptide (AgRP) orexigenic neurons via -aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic signaling was also observed
