Abstract

Obesity increased oxidative stress, which was alleviated by intervention with semaglutide.

  • Semaglutide treatment may reduce glucose levels and weight in obese models.
  • High-fat conditions resulted in increased inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in cardiomyocytes.
  • The expression of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-like protein 2 () was down-regulated in response to semaglutide treatment.
  • Palmitic acid-induced oxidative stress and autophagy levels were decreased in cardiomyocytes lacking the HSDL2 gene.
  • These findings suggest a potential mechanism for semaglutide's protective effects against obesity-induced myocardial injury.
