Episode notes
The angler fish is central because it was in research on angler fish dating back to 1980 that helped us identify this hormone. It was first identified in the angler fish and then later in humans. GLP1 has what they call insulinotropic effects, which means it stimulates insulin release in the body. So anyway, that was really the science that led to the discovery of GLP1, which is the all-important hormone that were mimicking inside today's drugs.
