Effects of a Dulaglutide plus Calorie-Restricted Diet versus a Calorie-Restricted Diet on Visceral Fat and Metabolic Profiles in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
GLP-1 is a hormone that is involved in normalizing the level of glucose in blood (glycemia)
It has FDA approval for type 2 diabetes and obesity, providing a stronger regulatory basis than retatrutide
While media attention can destigmatize aesthetic treatments , it can also lead to unrealistic expectations
This suggests that retatrutide could serve as a potential treatment for MASLD/NASH, which currently lacks FDA-approved pharmacological interventions (Hamrick et al., 2024)
But in the process, it has created an ill-defined public health crisis under our noses, fed by greed and preying on vulnerable patients who turn to questionable yet convenient solutions online
