The Claim
GLP1R mRNA is not detectable in human cardiac fibroblasts, coronary artery endothelial cells, or vascular smooth muscle cells, indicating that these cell types are unlikely to be primary sites of GLP-1 receptor expression in the human heart under baseline conditions.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
The gene for the GLP-1 receptor isn't found in certain heart cells, so those cells probably aren't the main places where this receptor works in the human heart when things are normal.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: GLP-1 Receptor Expression Within the Human Heart
The study looked for GLP-1 receptor messages (mRNA) in specific heart cells and didn't find them in fibroblasts or blood vessel cells, which supports the idea that these cells don't make this receptor in the human heart.
