When the pharmacological appetite suppression is reduced or withdrawn, the caloric threshold required to maintain their new weight is lower than expected, but their appetite, shaped by the neurological reward pathways that GLP-1s modulate, does not stay suppressed indefinitely without ongoing treatment
Normally, BCAAs (e.g., valine, leucine and isoleucine) can be converted to their corresponding branched-chain keto acids that in turn can be converted to branched-chain CoA, which can also bind carnitine to form branched-chain acylcarnitines (BCACs), such as propionylcarnitine (C3-carnitine), succinylcarnitine (C4DC-carnitine) and isovalerylcarnitine (isoC5-carnitine), which are involved in the energy production process of cells [10]

Clinically, it is characterized by nail dystrophy (thickened nails, color changes, and increased transverse curvature) and palmoplantar keratoderma, the latter located at pressure points on the feet, where it may cause significant pain
