Abstract:Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate glucose tolerance, glucagon response, and beta cell function during a 1-year maintenance period with either exercise, the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide, or the combination after diet-induced weight loss.Methods: In this randomized placebo-controlled trial, adults with obesity (BMI: 32-43 kg/m 2 ) without diabetes underwent an 8-week low-calorie diet (800 kcal/d) and were randomized to 52 weeks of aerobic exercise, liraglutide 3.0 mg/d, … Show more
“…Overall, the study consisted of three phases: an eight-week weight loss phase (week −8 to 0), a 52-week randomised, controlled weight maintenance phase (week 0–52), and a one-year post-treatment phase (week 52–104). The results of the first two phases, i.e., the weight loss (week −8 to 0) and weight maintenance (week 0–52) phases, have been published previously, 7 , 26 , 27 and the results of this paper are based on the post-treatment phase alone (week 52–104) and in combination with the weight maintenance phase (week 0–104). …”
