GLP-1 7-36 is a 30 amino acid peptide derived from the proglucagon molecule that is synthesised in intestinal L cells, as well as in alpha cells of the pancreas and in neuronal clusters of the central nervous system (CNS).2 It is a peptide with a short half-life (23 min), due to rapid renal clearance and degradation by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which converts GLP-1 into GLP-1 9-36, a form that does not interact with the GLP-1 receptor.1 The GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) belongs to the class B G protein-coupled glucagon receptor family.2,3 Activation of the Gs subunit leads to stimulation of adenylate cyclase, synthesis of cyclic AMP, mobilisation of intracellular calcium, and glucose-dependent insulin release by pancreatic beta cells.2,3 Intracellular signalling also involves various additional pathways, such as recruitment of beta-arrestin-1, which modulates receptor internalisation and desensitisation, as well as the effects of certain GLP-1R agonists.3,4 Depending on the structure of the ligand, intracellular signalling pathways are modulated towards cyclic AMP generation, activation of kinase cascades (ERK), and beta-arrestin-1 recruitment, all of which influence the biological effect and desensitisation of the GLP-1 receptor.4 Some GLP-1R agonists exhibit biased agonism, favouring intracellular activation of cyclic AMP with reduced beta-arrestin recruitment, which results in less GLP-1R desensitisation and a more prolonged biological action (Table 1)

Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation found that the cases made similar allegations and that consolidation would eliminate duplicate discovery (a step that includes taking depositions and reviewing relevant documents), allow for more consistent rulings, and help conserve the resources of all parties involved
