Conclusion Our study reveals that the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome caused by mitophagy dysfunction plays an important role in cardiac hypertrophy induced by pressure overload, and semaglutide ameliorates the cardiac hypertrophy by improving cardiac mitophagy to suppress the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome
Clinical therapeutic effects and challenges of GLP-1 receptor agonists The primary GLP-1RAs used worldwide as anti-obesity drugs are liraglutide (Saxenda, Novo Nordisk) as a once-daily subcutaneous injection and semaglutide (Wegovy, Novo Nordisk) as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection
Two downstream consequences are mechanistically central: nicotinamide is preserved for re-entry into the NAD+ salvage pathway (raising intracellular NAD+ availability), and SAM is preserved for other methylation reactions
