Risk differences with 95% CIs and chi-squared tests were used to compare proportions of categorical change in %WL between semaglutide and placebo
For example, LY3437943 , a novel triple agonist peptide discovered by Eli Lilly that targets the glucagon receptor (GCGR), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR), and GLP-1R (GCGR+GIPR+GLP-1R from the list above), can effectively reduce body weight and improve glycemic control in obese mice
There are other weight loss tablets available, but they are not GLP-1 medications
