Unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat is highly metabolically active, with greater blood flow, higher concentrations of glucocorticoid receptors, and increased sensitivity to lipolytic (fat-breaking) hormones
What we know from TRIUMPH-4 (blood pressure through 68 weeks): Systolic BP: -14.0 mmHg (12mg dose, efficacy estimand) Diastolic BP: -4.3 mmHg average reduction These reductions persisted even as weight loss plateaued in the final weeks, suggesting blood pressure benefits may be partially independent of weight possibly due to direct GLP-1 and glucagon receptor effects on vascular function
They are associated with slower glucose absorption compared with refined carbohydrate foods
