Semaglutide for weight loss in people with obesity as an adjunctive treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa: its impact on disease control and quality of life
Batsis, Prado, and colleagues, writing in Annals of Internal Medicine , applied prespecified benchmarks for expected muscle-related losses about 25% of total weight loss for FFM or lean soft tissue measured by BIA or DXA, and about 15% for skeletal muscle measured by CT or MRI
It was first characterized as an incretin hormone, meaning it enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells
