GLP-1 is clinically-proven to be one of the most effective medication for long-term results
The 10-month trial contract with Intellihealth began July 1 under a state program with Connecticut Innovations, the states venture capital program
The trial aimed to evaluate the effects of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide on adipose tissue quantity and distribution in individuals with HIV-associated lipohypertrophy over a 32-week period
Other GLP-1 receptor agonists include semaglutide (Wegovy for weight management, Ozempic for diabetes) and liraglutide (Saxenda for weight management, Victoza for diabetes), with semaglutide 2.4 mg demonstrating greater average weight loss than liraglutide 3.0 mg in clinical trials
