Other genetic loci: Polymorphisms in genes such as CNR1, CTRB1/2 andTCF7L2, have shown associations with GLP-1RA response, particularly liraglutide, affecting glycemic control and metabolic parameters [14,133,135]
As body weight decreases, the body's total energy expenditure declinesnot only because there is less mass to maintain, but also because metabolic rate may decrease beyond what would be predicted by weight loss alone
