Starting at the lowest dose (3mg) and escalating slowly is essential
However, the significant weight changes usually come later on, typically after the 12-week mark
In the STEP UP clinical trial, the 7.2-mg dose demonstrated a mean weight loss of 20.7% at 72 weeks, compared with a reduction of 17.5% with the previously approved semaglutide (Wegovy) injection (2.4 mg) and 2.4% with placebo
They can adjust their hormone output to support beta cells and maintain blood sugar balance. To validate their findings, the researchers then blocked the production of glucagon in mice, expecting insulin levels to drop when alpha-to-beta cell signaling was disrupted
