Metabolic adaptation

Both liraglutide (3 mg) and naltrexone/bupropion (32/360 mg) improved body weight and composition, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and liver fat and function.

Practitioners can consider both liraglutide and naltrexone/bupropion as effective options for improving metabolic health in patients with obesity.
