Semaglutide is effective against fatty liver in mice even without weight loss

A study with Spanish participation has discovered in mice that semaglutide can improve the condition of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease not only through weight loss, but also independently, which would explain why some patients improve with minimal weight loss. “We are not saying that weight loss is unimportant, as many things improve when patients lose weight. But now we know that weight should not be the only measure of success, because GLP-1 drugs will improve liver health regardless of whether the patient loses weight or not,” the authors, who published the results in Cell Metabolism.
