Recent studies have found that increased level of GLP-1 in the hippocampus restores GABA and reverses this neurotoxic effect by reducing oxidative stress through the SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, promoting autophagy through the AMPK/mTOR pathway, and alleviating hippocampal apoptosis by inactivating pro-apoptotic kinase GSK-3 (Arab et al., 2023)
