About

Talk Description

Obesity is a gateway to multiple chronic diseases which limit human HealthSpan. There has never been a class of drugs that induces the rapid and profound decreases in body weight and fat as today’s blockbuster ‘Ozempic/Mounjaro’ or ‘incretin’ therapies – but what impact do they have on muscle and other tissues? This talk will share world-first results from the UWA Tirzepatide and Resistance Exercise (T-REX) study of changes in body composition, muscle mass, strength, and heart and artery health in humans.
