Obesity is a chronic, progressive and relapsing disease with rising global prevalence associated increased morbidity mortality reduced quality of life. Treatment obesity requires comprehensive medical approach that includes behavioural interventions, pharmacotherapy bariatric surgery. The degree weight loss all approaches highly heterogeneous, long-term maintenance remains challenging. For years, antiobesity medications have been limited in number, often delivering meagre efficacy raising numerous safety concerns. Therefore, there need for the development efficacious safe new agents. Recent insights into complex pathophysiology our understanding intervenable targets pharmacotherapies to treat improve weight-related cardiometabolic complications, namely, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidaemia hypertension. As result, novel potent therapies emerged, such as semaglutide, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) recently approved treatment obesity. Semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly significantly reduces body by approximately 15%, simultaneous improvement risk factors physical functioning people Tirzepatide, first dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1RA, has demonstrated reduction exceeding 20% coupled improved measures feasible. Thus, these agents promise narrow gap between weight-loss effects behaviour previous pharmacotherapies, In this narrative review, we highlight established emerging therapeutic treatments management position them framework according their effects.

Abstract This study investigated the effects of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) inhibition on cognitive function metabolic parameters senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). SAMP8 an HFD exhibited increased body weight, impaired glucose tolerance, elevated serum leptin levels. In epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT), pharmacological treatment with FB23, well-established FTO inhibitor, production modulated genes involved in lipid metabolism (Cpt1a, Atgl , Hsl Fas) oxidative stress (OS) ( Bip Edem ), inflammation (Mcp1, Tnfα) .
