The STEP 5 trial demonstrated sustained weight loss over 104 weeks of continuous treatment
For type 2 diabetes, the FDA-approved maintenance doses of Ozempic range from 0.5 mg to 2.0 mg weekly, while the weight management indication (Wegovy) follows a specific titration schedule (0.250.51.01.72.4 mg at approximately 4-week intervals), with a maximum dose of 2.4 mg weekly
Participants experienced reductions in HbA1c, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and waist circumference, all of which are linked to lower cardiometabolic risk

More recently, an in vivo/in vitro study using a mouse model of focal cerebral cortical ischemia revealed that the neuroprotective effects of liraglutide (i.e., reduced brain infarct volume, improved neurological recovery, and anti-neuroinflammatory effects) may be achieved through the inhibition of pyroptosis, which is special form of apoptosis associated with inflammation and mediated by inflammasome and caspase-1 activation [94]
