GIPR activation produces: Additional glucose-dependent insulin secretion (synergistic with GLP-1R on -cells) Direct effects on adipocyte (fat cell) lipid metabolism, including enhanced lipid uptake and storage dynamics paradoxically, this appears to contribute to improved metabolic outcomes by improving adipose tissue function rather than simply increasing fat storage Bone metabolism regulation GIPR is expressed in osteoblasts and osteoclasts and influences bone turnover (research area) Central nervous system effects via hypothalamic GIPR that are distinct from but complementary to GLP-1R appetite circuits The synergy between GIPR and GLP-1R at the -cell level amplifies insulin secretion beyond what either receptor achieves alone
