fMRI data will be explored using Regional Homogeneity (ReHo) and rsFC analyses to assess local and whole-brain changes
However, differences in administration methods might sway personal preference
Amgens long-acting monthly obesity therapy MariTide (maridebart cafraglutide, formerly AMG 133) demonstrated substantial and sustained weight loss in a Phase II trial, with patients achieving an average of 20% weight loss without a plateau, along with cardiometabolic improvements, over 52 weeks
If dose escalation is not tolerated due to side effects (eg, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation), the increase in dose can be delayed by another four weeks
This emerging specialization addresses medication side effects, prevents muscle loss, and helps patients maintain long-term results, creating significant career opportunities for nutrition professionals
