By supporting better glucose control, it can help reduce food intake, improve metabolic regulation, and promote weight loss

It also engages other intracellular pathways, including -arrestin-mediated MAPK signaling, where -arrestin desensitizes GPCRs by blocking G protein coupling and acts as a scaffold to activate mitogen-activated protein kinases (like ERK), promoting longer-term effects such as gene expression and cell survival by regulating gene transcription, independent of G protein signaling [22]
