AI Technical Summary
Current obesity treatments primarily target single hormonal pathways, failing to effectively regulate body energy balance and reduce obesity, as obesity is a multifactorial disease influenced by various hormones.
Development of a dual-target fusion polypeptide combining GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and growth hormone receptor (GHR) fragments to simultaneously modulate multiple hormonal pathways, utilizing GLP-1 polypeptides and growth hormone proteins or variants thereof, with specific sequence homologies and mutations for enhanced efficacy.
The dual-target fusion polypeptide provides a comprehensive approach to regulate body energy balance, offering potential for significant weight loss and reducing obesity-related risks, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
