Updated Jul 8, 2026

Abstract

This study explores the effects of semaglutide on lipid metabolism in visceral white adipose tissue in a mouse model of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Semaglutide may influence lipid metabolism, potentially affecting fat storage and breakdown.
Visceral white adipose tissue is a key area for examining metabolic changes associated with Type 2 diabetes.
Understanding these molecular mechanisms could provide insights into treatments for T2DM.
