The Claim
In human cardiac tissue, GLP1R mRNA expression is higher than GLP2R and GCGR mRNA expression, with GCGR mRNA undetectable in the left ventricle, indicating selective expression of the GLP-1 receptor among proglucagon-derived peptide receptors in the heart.
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.
In the human heart, the GLP-1 receptor is more active than similar receptors, and one of them isn't detectable at all in a key heart chamber — suggesting the heart may respond more to GLP-1-based signals.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: GLP-1 Receptor Expression Within the Human Heart
The study looked at which heart receptors have more or less genetic activity and found that the GLP-1 receptor gene is more active than the others, just like the claim says.
