Chronic semaglutide treatment exacerbates growth impairment in stunted juvenile mice Given the importance of linear growth as a hallmark of juvenile physiology and the observed metabolic modulation by semaglutide under optimal nutritional conditions, we next investigated its effects in a context of disrupted growth
Wegovy is approved for long-term weight management and may help maintain weight loss over time
When effort required to get the drug became more taxing, semaglutide-treated rats stopped earlier, which suggests that their motivation was lessened
