Researchers examine nerve regeneration with improved corneal nerve fiber density with semaglutide for monogenic obesity
Reviewed by Hoda Gad, MSc, BScMonogenic obesity is a rare and severe disease, most often resulting from MC4R mutations that disrupt the neuronal pathways in the hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex. Following 6 months of treatment with semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, researchers observed that 2 siblings with monogenic obesity had nerve … [Read more...] about Researchers examine nerve regeneration with improved corneal nerve fiber density with semaglutide for monogenic obesity
