A later prespecified SELECT analysis published in The Lancet in 2024 showed that the cardioprotective effect was largely independent of the amount of weight lost, which supported the view that semaglutide has a direct cardiometabolic role and not only a body weight effect
Binding, agonism, internalization, and -arrestin recruitment Studies published by 49 and 48 have documented the physiologic relevance of internalization and -arrestin recruitment in response to specific interactions with both the GLP-1R and Y2-R 49 demonstrated that the extent of internalization and receptor trafficking mediated by Ex-4 (the scaffold upon which GEP44 is built) has a direct impact on the ISR and that efforts to retain GLP-1R on the cell surface result in enhanced and sustained insulin release

The specific once-weekly dosing schedule of many semaglutide-based medications is a cornerstone of their design, carefully calculated to provide consistent therapeutic effects while minimizing risks
