GIPR and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency: Here, we examined the effects of tirzepatide, a long-acting dual glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) agonist approved for diabetes and obesity, using behavioural assays (locomotor activity and conditioned place preference), alcohol intake paradigms (intermittent access two-bottle choice, drinking in the dark and the alcohol deprivation effect), and molecular analyses (microdialysis, electrophysiology and proteomics) in rodents.
