Weight Loss and Glycemic Control After Bariatric Surgery in Adolescents With Severe Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38069930/
Bariatric surgery was associated with substantial weight loss and improvements in glucose and lipid metabolism after 12 months compared to conservative treatment in adolescents with severe obesity.
Bariatric surgery led to significant weight loss and metabolic improvements in adolescents with severe obesity after failed lifestyle intervention, outperforming conservative treatment in a one-year randomized trial.

Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Once-Weekly Semaglutide for Weight Loss in Patients Without Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38679221/
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has demonstrated clinically important weight loss effects in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, its effects on sustained weight loss in patients without diabetes...
Semaglutide (2.4 mg) significantly reduces body weight in overweight/obese individuals without diabetes, with a 12.1% relative weight loss. Gastrointestinal adverse events are common but mostly mild. Long-term efficacy and safety are confirmed.

Targeting the GDF15 Signalling for Obesity Treatment: Recent Advances and Emerging Challenges - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39700016/
The growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15)-glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor family receptor alpha-like (GFRAL) pathway plays a crucial role in the regulation of metabolism, appetite and body weight control. Obesity is...
The GDF15-GFRAL pathway regulates metabolism, appetite, and obesity. Targeting this axis offers a promising strategy for obesity treatment, with minimal impact on muscle mass, though challenges remain in its application.
