In addition to a number of circumventricular organs [CVOs, e.g., median eminence (ME), area postrema (AP), subfornical organ, organum vasculosum of lamina terminalis], liraglutide was also observed in the hypothalamus [arcuate nucleus (ARC), paraventricular nucleus (PVN), supraoptic NTS, supraoptic decussation], which would have necessitated its uptake across the bloodbrain barrier
