In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The study aims to investigate the genetic basis of the response to short-term (3 months) orally administered semaglutide treatment, in terms of improving metabolic parameters, including the hormonal response to a standardized meal, and changes in body composition and liver steatosis. In the study, parameters such as fasting and 2-hour glucose during OGTT, HbA1c, body fat mass, body weight, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL, triglycerides, HOMA-IR, Matsuda Index and liver steatosis will be assessed. All the patients will undergo genome-wide genotyping. Moreover, in a subset of participants, muscle and fat biopsies will be performed, before and after the treatment, and liver, muscle and pancreas fat content will be assessed using MRI.
