First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study measured how GLP-1 agonist drugs (like liraglutide) change fat levels in the heart muscle of 42 adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants had an MRI scan before and after 6 months of treatment. The goal was to see if these drugs reduce heart fat, which may help prevent heart failure. The study was completed and focused on understanding the drug's effects, not on curing diabetes.
