This framework generates testable predictions and potential monitoring endpointsincluding lean mass trajectory, micronutrient status, fat-soluble vitamin surveillance, and exploratory redox-related biomarkersthat can be evaluated in future longitudinal and interventional studies
This has accelerated interest in combining GLP-1 RA therapy with agents that attenuate skeletal muscle catabolism: myostatin/activin inhibitors, selective androgen receptor modulators, and triple agonists such as retatrutide that include glucagon receptor activation
This is underscored by the results of a clinical trial comparing the development of obese adults who received either semaglutide or liraglutide in addition to nutritional advice and physical activity, and significantly greater weight loss was achieved in the semaglutide group [102]
It is crucial to recognise that this research is in its infancy
