Used in research and development of treatments for type 2 diabetes due to its ability to enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion. It acts as a stable analog of the native GLP-1 hormone, helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Also investigated for its potential in weight management and obesity treatment by reducing appetite and food intake. Commonly used in preclinical studies to evaluate metabolic responses and pancreatic beta-cell function. Its acetate form improves solubility and stability for experimental use.
