Real-time PCR was performed using an S1000 PCR instrument (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) to quantify gene expression
Investigations focus on molecular mechanisms and assay readouts only
GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GLP-1/GIP co-agonists can produce substantial weight loss, but caloric restriction and weight loss trigger adaptive thermogenesis and neuroendocrine changes (reduced energy expenditure and increased appetite) that facilitate weight regain once therapy is discontinued
Continuous glucose monitoring is helpful because the appetite suppression from semaglutide changes meal timing and size in ways that affect insulin needs
