These potential contributing factors are largely theoretical in the context of semaglutide treatment and not well-established
Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) a naturally occurring hormone that has the following effects: Stimulates insulin production to help regulate blood sugar Inhibits glucagon release, slowing the release of sugar into the blood causing the body to burn more fat Slows gastric emptying to make you feel full longer Reduces appetite (because you feel full) Together, these effects can help slow the conversion of sugar to fat, burn more fat, make you feel less hungry, and adhere to a healthy diet, all of which make it easier to manage weight and blood sugar
Importantly, liver enzyme markers (ALT, AST) decreased more in the combination group, suggesting reduced hepatic oxidative stress during weight loss
