Summary

This study looked at how a single dose of semaglutide (Rybelsus), a drug used for diabetes, affects stress hormones like cortisol in healthy men. Twenty-two healthy male volunteers took either the drug or a placebo, and their cortisol levels were measured. The goal was to understand the drug's effect on the body's stress system, not to treat any disease.
