CNS: Reduces caloric intake and maintains energy balance.
Heart: Increases heart rate but doesn't necessarily translate to a significant increase in blood pressure or an increased risk of hypertension.
Pancreas: Enhances insulin secretion while reducing glucagon.
Gut: Slows gastric emptying and reduces chylomicron production.
Adipose Tissue: Facilitates glucose and triglyceride uptake, promoting storage.
Kidneys: Causes transient sodium excretion.
Bones: Supports bone remodelling related to meals.
Liver: Boosts glucose uptake and glycogen production while reducing hepatic glucose output.
