Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Anti-obesity therapies co-targeting the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor achieve greater weight loss compared with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. However, the implications for cardiovascular risk reduction and the mechanisms involved remain unclear. This study aimed to (i) investigate whether genetically proxied body weight reduction via the GIP receptor...
