In a highdose semaglutide trial (7.2 mg weekly), participants lost about 20.7% of body weight in 72 weeks, with a substantial portion achieving up to 25% weight loss
Weight loss under the action of GLP-1RA is not only caused by acting on the hypothalamus or parasympathetic nervous system, thereby inhibiting appetite and delaying gastric emptying, but also by acting on white and brown adipocytes

42 It also showed that intensive glucose control increased the relative risk of severe hypoglycemia by 30%
The connection between GLP-1 medications and inflammation is relevant here, since the same cytokine reductions that benefit cardiovascular and metabolic health may also raise the threshold at which migraine attacks are triggered
