Background: Obese individuals may perceive the taste of caloric dense food as less intense, resulting in decreased activation of the reward system. Preclinical research provides some insights into the role of GLP-1 in the gustatory coding. The impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on the tongue and taste perception remains largely unaddressed in clinical settings.Aim: to investigate the impact of semaglutide on the tongue transcriptome, taste perception and ...

ObjectiveFat depot in the tongue that represents 2530% of the total tongue mass is largely unaddressed. It correlates with body mass index. The response to weight reduction induced by different anti-obesity modalities may vary between body fat compartments. Semaglutide, a long acting GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), has the potential to reduce body mass with at least 2 to 3 times greater weight reduction than other studied GLP-1 RAs. This is the ...
