Beyond appetite regulation: Targeting energy expenditure, fat oxidation, and lean mass preservation for sustainable weight loss - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35333444/

New appetite-regulating antiobesity treatments such as semaglutide and agents under investigation such as tirzepatide show promise in achieving weight loss of 15% or more. Energy expenditure, fat oxidation, and lean...



Conclusions: We suggest that the regulatory guidelines should be revisited to focus more on the quality of weight loss and its maintenance rather than the absolute weight loss. Commitment to this research focus both from a scientific and from a regulatory point of view could signal the beginning of the next era in obesity therapies

Conclusions: These studies support the use of GLP-1RAs for the improvement of underlying metabolic dysfunction observed in NASH and suggest further long-term phase III trials are warranted.

Conclusion: Compared to DPP4is, SGLT2is use was associated with reduced risks of ESRD and ARF, and a slower eGFR decline in a real-world setting. The associations remained significant in patients with or without pre-index rapid eGFR decline.
