AddictoQuiz

GPL-1 Receptor Agonists in Addictology

This quiz introduces you to the essential concepts of GLP-1 receptor agonists — from their neurobiological mechanisms and metabolic actions to their emerging role in addiction medicine.
You will explore how GLP-1 signalling interacts with reward circuits and drug-related behaviours, and how this knowledge may inform future therapeutic strategies.

Use this quiz to test your understanding, consolidate key mechanisms, and reflect on how GLP-1–based treatments could reshape interventions across substance use disorders.

This section provides a selection of diverse resources intended to support your preparation for and completion of the quiz. The materials may include scientific articles, official reports, practice guidelines, and other relevant documents offering complementary perspectives. Engaging with these resources prior to or during the quiz will help you deepen your understanding of the subject matter, strengthen your analytical approach, and enhance the overall quality of your learning process.
