To illustrate this, lets take a look at a clinical trial that compared weight loss with Wegovy vs Mounjaro over 72 weeks (18 months)
A previous paper (Remien et al., Heptology 56(2012), 727-734) had developed a mathematical model of liver enzymes in the plasma and cell necrosis in the liver in order to predict which patients require liver transplants
Thus, studies in mice have revealed a multistep metaorganismal pathway that is initiated by sequential gut microbiotadependent conversions of oral l-carnitine into an atherogenic intermediate, BB, which is then converted into TMA, the immediate precursor for host hepatic transformation into TMAO (i.e., l-carnitine BBTMATMAO)
Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, demonstrated even greater reductions in the SURMOUNT trials, with participants losing up to 22% of their starting weight
