💊 What happens to weight and the gut microbiome when semaglutide is used in people with schizophrenia?
A recent open-label trial followed individuals with schizophrenia receiving clozapine or olanzapine during a 24-week semaglutide intervention.
Researchers examined changes in body weight and cardiometabolic measures alongside changes in gut microbiota diversity and composition, with additional weight follow-up extending to 76 weeks.
The study adds to growing research exploring how GLP-1 receptor agonists may address metabolic health challenges associated with antipsychotic treatment.

This open-label trial examined the effects of semaglutide in individuals with schizophrenia receiving either clozapine or olanzapine. It assessed body weight and other cardiometabolic measures, as well as microbiota biodiversity and composition, between commencement and completion of a 24-week semaglutide intervention. A second evaluation was made considering body weight between commencement and 76-week follow-up.

New from @DrSMSilverstein in Schizophrenia Research: People with schizophrenia show signs of faster aging in their eyes, but this is mainly due to higher rates of diabetes and high blood pressure—problems that can be treated or managed. #URochesterResearch

Back in 2017, @keshavanms proposed that aberrant salience might explain how artificial neural networks generate hallucinations - and illustrated it with his own art. Note the difference between the top and bottom pictures. A timely read today around LLMs: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
