AI simplified

Abstract

resulted in a 15.5% weight reduction in obese rats.

  • Semaglutide treatment led to a 10.7% weight reduction in rats fed a high-fat diet.
  • treatment resulted in weight reductions of 5.0%, 14.9%, and 17.7% at concentrations of 10, 50, and 100 nmol/kg, respectively.
  • Metabolic analyte levels decreased in rats treated with semaglutide and tirzepatide compared to the sham group.
  • Adipose tissue weight and liver fat droplets were reduced in the intervention groups.
  • Tirzepatide, especially at higher doses, showed greater improvements in metabolic parameters compared to bariatric surgery and semaglutide.
