Some emerging studies are showing that it may be possible for patients to taper off of weight loss drugs or take lower doses and maintain a lower BMI
Furthermore, semaglutide prevents MASLD/MASH-driven HCC progression in metabolic preclinical models, partly by correcting adipokine imbalances (low adiponectin, high leptin) associated with insulin resistance, which removes a key chronic inflammatory and pro-oncogenic signal linked to the disease ( It is important to note that most of the evidence supporting the anti-tumor efficacy of GLP-1 RAs is derived from preclinical studies, including in vitro studies and animal experiments demonstrating reduced proliferation of the cancer cells, enhanced apoptosis, and modulation of oncogenic signaling pathways ( These systemic and direct molecular effects, particularly the potent anti-inflammatory actions and metabolic correction, are highly relevant to mitigating the progression of both ALD and MetALD
This delayed gastric emptying is central to both the therapeutic effect and the side effect profile of these injections
