It is to determine if Semaglutide is an appropriate treatment option
A small study of 17 male participants showed that eating fruit, such as an apple, before a meal can reduce caloric intake by 18.5%
Semaglutide was approved for medical use in the US in 2017, and its indications have expanded over the years to include not just type 2 diabetes management but also long-term weight management for adults with obesity or who are overweight and have at least one weight-related comorbidity [20]
The authors note that semaglutide had a holistic therapeutic approach to both liver disease and associated cardiometabolic illnesses. These results lend further credence that semaglutide is the Swiss army knife of medicine we have been looking for, to treat obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and now MASH, Beverly Tchang, MD, an endocrinologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, not affiliated with the trial, told Healthline.
