Acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise has no significant effect on plasma levels of obestatin or des-acyl ghrelin in overweight women.
Don't expect moderate running to change your levels of obestatin or des-acyl ghrelin. These specific hormones remain stable during and after a 60-minute moderate run in overweight women. Focus on the changes in acyl ghrelin and leptin instead.
ModerateRefutesMEDIUM confidence
The data indicated that although acute treadmill exercise resulted in a significant change in acyl ghrelin and leptin levels, it had no effect on plasma obestatin and des-acyl ghrelin levels.
Why this rating
Same limitations as N1 (small n, acute), but consistent with other literature cited.

- Initial treatment for type 2 diabetes should be a combination of metformin and either an SGLT-2 inhibitor or a GLP-1 receptor agonist to achieve cardiorenal protection, rather than monotherapy or older agents like sulfonylureas.Strong
- For patients with specific monogenic obesity syndromes (leptin deficiency, POMC/PCSK1/LEPR mutations), targeted pharmacotherapy (recombinant leptin or setmelanotide) is highly effective and should be prioritized, unlike in polygenic obesity.Strong
- Continued weekly administration of 2.4 mg subcutaneous semaglutide prevents weight regain and promotes further weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, whereas switching to placebo results in significant weight regain.Strong
