Weight loss is steady, typically averaging 1-3 pounds per week depending on the medication, dose, and individual factors
Activation of GLP-1R by exendin-4 promoted the osteogenic differentiation, increased bone formation and osteoblast number and inhibited BMSC adipogenic differentiation, but wortmannin (PI3K inhibitor), and GLP-1R sh-RNA partially blocked the exendin-4-induced PI3K/AKT signaling activation and attenuated the facilitating effect of exendin-4 in BMSCs (Figure 1)
