Both Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have publicly acknowledged backorders and rationing of products like Mounjaro and Ozempic due to unprecedented demand

centrally-mediated loss of appetite & increased thermogenic activity GLP-1 receptors are found in regions of the hindbrain and hypothalamus that regulate feeding behavior Centrally mediated GLP-1 effects include: reduction of food intake - resulting in weight loss due to reduced caloric intake activation of sympathetic pathways in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) and ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) that increase neuronally mediated thermogenic activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) resulting in increased energy expenditure with associated weight loss (Contreras et al, 2017

it has a half-life of 11 minutes and requires 3 injections per day

Phase 3 studies using mazdutide as obesity treatment in a Chinese population (doses between 4 and 9 mg) are also ongoing (NCT05607680, NCT06164873)

Randomization and study treatment Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either active treatment with exenatide (Byetta) or placebo using a computer-generated randomization list generated by the Birmingham Clinical Trials Unit

Conclusions In conclusion, in children and adolescents with obesity, GLP-1 receptor agonists significantly reduced BMI z-score, waist circumference and body weight
