Some studies have investigated whether the metabolic improvements seen with GLP-1 therapyincluding weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced visceral adiposity might secondarily influence cortisol dynamics
It shows the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, with the cytosol shown at the top and the mitochondrial matrix at the bottom
Weight gain is a frequent concern, occurring both as a consequence of reduced metabolic rate and through interactions between thyroid hormones and insulin sensitivity
This data supports a treatment paradigm in which patients could initiate treatment with potent injectable agents for maximal initial weight loss and then transition to oral orforglipron for long-term maintenance, reducing the burden of chronic injection therapy
