Further reciprocal mutagenesis studies will be required to identify key interactions responsible for the contrasting effects of exendin-phe1, exendin-asp3 and other analogs, facilitating future design of agonists with even greater selectivity
Ozempic is strictly for type 2 diabetes management, while Wegovy is explicitly developed for chronic weight management
