However, tirzepatides dual mechanism may produce greater average weight reduction in some individuals
To investigate the efficacy of semaglutide on the metabolic and inflammatory features, post-baseline changes were analyzed using an MMRM, with baseline diabetes status, baseline fibrosis stage and diabetes-by-fibrosis interaction as factors (HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, adipose tissue insulin resistance and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol could not be included in the diabetes-by-fibrosis interaction as factors) and baseline body weight and baseline value of the feature as covariates, all nested within visit
