Its lactam-bridged design produces enhanced metabolic stability and high potency across the broader melanocortin receptor family (MC1R through MC5R)
However, clinical trials and real-world evidence consistently show that weight reduction with GLP-1RAs is accompanied by decrease in lean body mass, raising concern in patients already predisposed to muscle wasting and underscoring the need for integrated management strategies
In contrast, patients with early-stage steatosis or those embedded in a context of profound systemic insulin resistance may present a less amenable target for short-term LC monotherapy, as the driving pathophysiology extends beyond immediate fatty acid flux
