    Abstract Obesity treatment requires a chronic state of negative energy balance. Obesity medications can help with this, increasing long-term dietary compliance by promoting satiety or reducing hunger. However, efficacy and safety of obesity medications vary for individuals. Early identification of non-responders to obesity medications may limit drug exposure while optimizing benefits for responders. This review summarizes factors that impact weight-loss response to liraglutide. Factors linked to greater weight loss on liraglutide include being female, not having diabetes, having relatively high baseline weight, and losing at least 4% of initial weight after 16 weeks of treatment. Other covariates that may predict treatment response but require further confirmation include central effects, nausea, gastric emptying of solids, and genotype. Baseline body mass index, race, and age seem less relevant for predicting weight-loss response to liraglutide. Lesser known and harder-to-measure factors such as cerebral blood flow, food cue reactivity, gut hormone levels, and dietary adherence possibly impact variability of response to liraglutide. This information should assist healthcare providers with establishing realistic weight-loss probability for individual patients. Future research should improve the ability to identify responders to liraglutide. Importantly, this review may provide a framework to identify responders to other obesity medications.

    Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) covers a broad spectrum of liver diseases ranging from steatosis to cirrhosis. There are limited data on prevention of hepatic steatosis or its progression to liver disease. Here, we tested if either transgenic (Tg) doxycycline-induced expression in adipose tissue of E4orf1 (E4), an adenoviral protein, or dietary fat restriction attenuated hepatic steatosis or its progression in mice. Twelve to fourteen-week-old TgE4 mice (E4 group) and control mice were exposed to a 60% (Kcal) high fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks, while another group of mice on HFD for 10 weeks were switched to a chow diet (chow group) for another 10 weeks. Glycemic control was determined at weeks 10 and 20. Tissues were collected for gene and protein analysis at sacrifice. Compared to control, diet reversal significantly reduced body weight in the chow group, whereas E4 expression attenuated weight gain, despite HFD. E4 mice evinced significantly improved glucose clearance, lower endogenous insulin secretion, reduced serum triglycerides, attenuated hepatic steatosis and inflammation. Interestingly, in spite of weight loss and lower liver fat, chow mice showed significant upregulation of hepatic genes involved in lipid metabolism. Despite HFD, E4 prevents hepatic lipid accumulation and progression of hepatic steatosis, while diet reversal maintains hepatic health, but is unable to improve molecular changes.

    Abstract Objective: Obesity, impaired glycemic control, and hepatic steatosis often coexist and are risk factors for developing dementia, and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We hypothesized that a therapeutic agent that improves glycemic control and steatosis may attenuate obesity-associated progression of dementia. We previously identified that adenoviral protein E4orf1 improves glycemic control and reduces hepatic steatosis despite obesity in mice. Here, we determined if this metabolic improvement by E4orf1 will ameliorate cognitive decline in a transgenic mouse model of AD.
    Methods: Fourteen- to twenty-month-old APP/PS1/E4orf1 and APP/PS1 (control) mice were fed a high-fat diet. Cognition was determined by Morris Water Maze (MWM). Systemic glycemic control and metabolic signaling changes in adipose tissue, liver, and brain were determined.
    Results: Compared to control, E4orf1 expression significantly improved glucose clearance, reduced endogenous insulin requirement and lowered body-fat, enhanced glucose and lipid metabolism in adipose tissue, and reduced de novo lipogenesis in the liver. In the brain, E4orf1 mice displayed significantly greater expression of genes involved in neurogenesis and amyloid-beta degradation and performed better in MWM testing.
    Conclusion: This study opens-up the possibility of addressing glycemic control and steatosis for attenuating obesity-related cognitive decline. It also underscores the potential of E4orf1 for the purpose, which needs further investigations.
