In the semaglutide arm only, other non-prespecified baseline variables (age, ethnicity, diabetes status, sex, type of surgery, time since surgery (months), meal-stimulated change in GLP-1 at baseline, postoperative %WL (from DOS to randomization)) and maximum %WL achieved after surgery or MBS response (weight regain versus suboptimal post-surgery weight loss) were added to the primary outcome linear regression model for the semaglutide arm only (therefore omitting the treatment allocation covariate) to assess their relationship with %WL induced by semaglutide at 68 weeks
To evaluate whether MNs could cause further inflammation and neutrophil aggregation, we conducted flow cytometry and RT-qPCR to detect the migration of neutrophils and the levels of inflammatory factors in the foot skin tissues of rats in the control group, microneedle-removed post-acupuncture group, and microneedle-retained post-acupuncture group, with 46 rats in each group

Because the peptide has not been extensively studied in humans, researchers do not yet fully understand its potential side effects, drug interactions, or long-term health implications
