    Abstract Purpose of review: Weight gain and body fat redistribution are common side effects of many widely used drugs. We summarize recent literature on prevalence data and mechanisms associated with drug-induced body fat changes and mechanisms to prevent or treat metabolic side effects.
    Recent findings: The highest prevalence of metabolic complications is seen with antipsychotics and antiretroviral drugs used in the treatment of HIV and may, at least partly, be responsible for the increased risk for co-morbid diseases such as diabetes, steatosis of the liver, and cardiovascular disease. The pathogenetic mechanisms leading to weight gain from antipsychotics are increasingly known and help to unravel the complex interaction that exists between psychopathology and metabolic complications. Although the classic lipodystrophy mainly occurred with older HIV drugs, also with the newer HIV treatment, weight gain seems to be a major side effect. Early detection of the metabolic consequences of drugs can lead to an early diagnosis of the complications and their treatment. Different medications, including the newer antidiabetics, are being studied in the therapy of drug-induced obesity. Future research should focus on identifying individuals at risk for metabolic side effects and on early markers to identify individuals with side effects so that timely treatment of metabolic complications can be initiated.

    Abstract Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have become agents of choice for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with established cardiovascular disease or in high-risk individuals. With currently available GLP-1 RAs, 51%-79% of subjects achieve an HbA1c target of less than 7.0% and 4%-27% lose 10% of body weight, illustrating the need for more potent agents. Three databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science) were searched using the MESH terms 'glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist', 'glucagon receptor agonist', 'glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide', 'dual or co-agonist', and 'tirzepatide'. Quality of papers was scored using PRISMA guidelines. Risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane assessment tool. An HbA1c target of less than 7.0% was attained by up to 80% with high-dose GLP-1 RAs and up to 97% with tirzepatide, with even up to 62% of people with T2D reaching an HbA1c of less than 5.7%. A body weight loss of 10% or greater was obtained by up to 50% and up to 69% with high-dose GLP-1 RAs or tirzepatide, respectively. The glucose- and weight-lowering effects of the GLP-1/glucagon RA cotadutide equal those of liraglutide 1.8 mg. Gastrointestinal side effects of high-dose GLP-1 RAs and co-agonists occurred in 30%-70% of patients, mostly arising within the first 2 weeks of the first dose, being mild or moderate in severity, and transient. The development of high-dose GLP-1 RAs and the dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide RA tirzepatide resulted in increasing numbers of people reaching HbA1c and body weight targets, with up to 62% attaining normoglycaemia with 15-mg tirzepatide. Whether this will also translate to better cardiovascular outcomes and affect treatment guidelines remains to be studied.

    Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have been reported as a novel worldwide epidemic, very often associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Both conditions have also been shown to be associated with a number of endocrine pathologies. Despite the epidemic, the complex pathophysiology and major complications, ranging from metabolic disturbances (diabetes and more) to cardiovascular disease, people with NASH are left with very few management options. The best and most approved therapeutic option is lifestyle intervention. Although pharmacotherapies based on pathophysiological background are in development, response rates appear modest, mainly for fibrosis treatment, which is the reason for lack of approved drug therapy. Previous drugs analyzed, such as pioglitazone and vitamin E, show weak efficacy. From different phase II trials, antidiabetic (injectable) drugs seem to be promising, both in mono- or bitherapy. Also, derivatives of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors may have an interesting future, as well. For that reason, more focus should be given on prevention of this novel disease entity. In view of this booming epidemic, with a background of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and the important medical consequences, early recognition, prevention and intervention of NAFLD/NASH seems appropriate. In this review, we will focus on the different current and future therapeutic intervention options, taking into consideration the complex pathophysiology of this disease.

    Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in western countries, affecting 25-30% of the general population and up to 65% in those with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes. Accumulation of visceral adipose tissue and insulin resistance (IR) contributes to NAFLD. NAFLD is not an innocent entity as it not only may cause nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis but also contribute to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. More and more people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are becoming overweight and present with features of IR, but the prevalence and impact of NAFLD in this population are still unclear. The utility of noninvasive screening tools for NAFLD in T1D is being explored. Recent data indicate that based upon ultrasonographic criteria NAFLD is present in 27% (ranging between 19% and 31%) of adults with T1D. Magnetic resonance imaging data indicate a prevalence rate of 8.6% (ranging between 2.1% and 18.6%). There are, however, multiple factors affecting these data, ranging from study design and referral bias to discrepancies in between diagnostic modalities. Individuals with T1D have a 7-fold higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular mortality is the most prominent cause of death in T1D. Patients with T1D and NALFD are also more prone to develop CVD, but the independent contribution of NAFLD to cardiovascular events has to be determined in this population. Furthermore, limited data in T1D also point towards a 2 to 3 times higher risk for microvascular complications in those with NAFLD. In this article, we will discuss epidemiological and diagnostic challenges of NAFLD in T1D, explore the link between IR and NAFLD and chronic complications, and examine the independent contribution of NAFLD to the presence of macro-, and microvascular complications.

    Abstract Obesity is a serious and growing worldwide health challenge. Healthy lifestyle choices are the foundation of obesity treatment. However, weight loss can lead to physiological adaptations that promote weight regain. As a result, lifestyle treatment alone typically produces only modest weight loss that is difficult to sustain. In other metabolic diseases, pharmacotherapy is an accepted adjunct to lifestyle. Several anti-obesity drugs have been approved in the USA, European Union, Australia, and Japan including sympathomimetics, pancreatic lipase inhibitors, GABA

    Abstract Genome-wide copy number surveys associated chromosome 11q11 with obesity. As this is an olfactory receptor-rich region, we hypothesize that genetic variation in olfactory receptor genes might be implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity. Multiplex Amplicon Quantification analysis was applied to screen for copy number variants at chromosome 11q11 in 627 patients with obesity and 330 healthy-weight individuals. A ± 80 kb deletion with an internally 1.3 kb retained segment was identified, covering the three olfactory receptor genes

    Abstract Background & aims: The epidemiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not yet elucidated. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive tests for NAFLD, to investigate the prevalence and severity of NAFLD, and to search for factors contributing to NAFLD in people with T1D.
    Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we consecutively screened 530 adults with T1D from a tertiary care hospital, using ultrasound (US), vibration-controlled transient elastography equipped with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter, and the fatty liver index. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was performed in a representative subgroup of 132 individuals to validate the diagnostic accuracy of the non-invasive tests.
    Results: Based on MRS as reference standard, US identified individuals with NAFLD with an AUROC of 0.98 (95% CI 0.95-1.00, sensitivity: 1.00, specificity: 0.96). The controlled attenuation parameter was also accurate with an AUROC of 0.85 (95% CI 0.77-0.93). Youden cut-off was ≥270 dB/m (sensitivity: 0.90, specificity: 0.74). The fatty liver index yielded a similar AUROC of 0.83 (95% CI 0.74-0.91), but the conventional cut-off used to rule in (≥60) had low sensitivity and specificity (0.62, 0.78). The prevalence of NAFLD in the overall cohort was 16.2% based on US. Metabolic syndrome was associated with NAFLD (OR: 2.35 [1.08-5.12],
    Conclusions: NAFLD prevalence in individuals with T1D is 16.2%, with approximately one in 10 featuring elevated LSM. US-based screening could be considered in people with T1D and metabolic syndrome.
    Impact and implications: We aimed to report on the prevalence, disease severity, and risk factors of NAFLD in type 1 diabetes (T1D), while also tackling which non-invasive test for NAFLD is the most accurate. We found that ultrasound is the best test to diagnose NAFLD. NAFLD prevalence is 16.2%, and is associated with metabolic syndrome and BMI. Elevated liver stiffness indicating fibrosis is overall not prevalent in people with T1D (3.8%), but it reaches 13.2% in those with T1D and NAFLD.

    Abstract Aim: To explore changes in body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors after treatment withdrawal in the STEP 1 trial extension.
    Materials and methods: STEP 1 (NCT03548935) randomized 1961 adults with a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m
    Results: Extension analyses included 327 participants. From week 0 to week 68, mean weight loss was 17.3% (SD: 9.3%) with semaglutide and 2.0% (SD: 6.1%) with placebo. Following treatment withdrawal, semaglutide and placebo participants regained 11.6 (SD: 7.7) and 1.9 (SD: 4.8) percentage points of lost weight, respectively, by week 120, resulting in net losses of 5.6% (SD: 8.9%) and 0.1% (SD: 5.8%), respectively, from week 0 to week 120. Cardiometabolic improvements seen from week 0 to week 68 with semaglutide reverted towards baseline at week 120 for most variables.
    Conclusions: One year after withdrawal of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg and lifestyle intervention, participants regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss, with similar changes in cardiometabolic variables. Findings confirm the chronicity of obesity and suggest ongoing treatment is required to maintain improvements in weight and health.
