Source : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langas/article/PIIS2468-1253(23)00068-7/fulltext

Patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related cirrhosis are at particularly high risk of developing potentially life-threatening liver-related morbidities, such as portal hypertension, hepatic decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver-related mortality, and cardiovascular events.,...

Interpretation: In patients with NASH and compensated cirrhosis, semaglutide did not significantly improve fibrosis or achievement of NASH resolution versus placebo. No new safety concerns were raised.

Weight loss breaks the bond between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular diseases: A clinical and epidemiological perspective - PubMed

Weight loss breaks the bond between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular diseases: A clinical and epidemiological perspective - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36951144/

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing health concern that is closely related to obesity and metabolic syndrome. In particular, NAFLD has been increasingly reported in adolescents and young...

Conclusions/Relevance: Besides the widespread use of bariatric surgery, the development of new GLP-1 agonists and GLP-1 GIP agonists revolutionized the treatment of obesity in recent years. Here, we discuss the interwoven correlation between obesity, NAFLD, and CVD and the benefits of weight-lowering approaches.

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332223003232?via=ihub

Empagliflozin distinctly modulates the lipidome of rat white adipose tissue depots. * This drug induces a strong anti-inflammatory effect in rat visceral fat. * Empagliflozin reduces M1 and M2 macrophage...

Conclusions/Relevance: Our data highlighted differences in the VAT and SAT lipidomes, inflammatory profiles and lipolytic function, which suggest a distinct metabolism of these two white adipose tissue depots after the empagliflozin treatment.

Expert Opinion: GLP-1R mimetics are often discontinued within 24-months, owing to gastrointestinal side-effects, meaning long-term application of these agents in obesity is questioned. Combined GIPR/GLP-1R agonism appears to induce fewer side-effects, indicating GLP-1R/GIPR co-agonists may be more suitable for enduring obesity management....

Breast cancer survivors with obesity have an increased risk of cancer recurrence, second malignancy, and comorbidities. Though physical activity (PA) interventions are needed, investigation of the relationships between obesity and...

Conclusions/Relevance: Those with class I/II obesity reported a higher negative outcome expectations score compared with class III. Location, walking self-efficacy, barriers, negative outcome expectations, and fitness should be considered when designing future PA programs among breast cancer survivors with obesity.
