In a landmark Phase 2 obesity trial, participants receiving the highest dose achieved: Up to ~24% average weight loss at 48 weeks Weight loss had not yet plateaued at the end of the study Potential for even greater reductions with longer treatment duration For context: Semaglutide (GLP-1): ~15% weight loss Tirzepatide (GIP + GLP-1): ~2123% weight loss Retatrutide (GIP + GLP-1 + Glucagon): ~24%+ weight loss in Phase 2 studies Common side effects were similar to other GLP-1based therapies and included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort, primarily during dose escalation

Next, we assessed the effect of GLP-1R overexpression in the LS on chronic body weight and metabolic parameters
Notably, in vivo reduction of lactate production or inhibition of GPR81-mediated signaling pathways significantly decreases circulating exosomal HMGB1 levels, thereby improving survival outcomes in polymicrobial sepsis [28]
