GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonism does not directly drive skeletal muscle atrophy or impair myogenesis in primary human myotubes
2026-07-23
Abstract excerpt
GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists produce substantial weight loss in clinical trials but significant loss of lean body mass is reported. Whether this reflects a direct pharmacological effect on skeletal muscle or an indirect consequence of caloric restriction and reduced mechanical loading is unknown. Primary myoblasts were isolated from skeletal muscle of older adults with obesity undergoing orthopaedic surge...
