Semaglutide did not shrink lab-grown human muscle cells
Muscle cells from six older adults with obesity showed no thinning after 24 hours of exposure to semaglutide or a gut hormone, compared with controls.Muscle cells from six older adults with obesity showed no thinning after 24 hours of exposure to semaglutide or a gut hormone, compared with controls.
Human cell studySemaglutide
Who was studied6 primary human skeletal muscle myotubes, 24 h, against DMSO vehicle-treated myotubes
What changedLab-grown muscle cell thickness did not differ with semaglutide versus vehicle control after 24 h
The catchOnly 6 donors contributed to most assays, limiting detection of modest thinning
