Semaglutide use is associated with neuromuscular junction degradation in older adults with type II diabetes mellitus
Semaglutide treatment in older men with T2DM may be associated with a decline in muscle strength and physical performance, potentially associated with neuromuscular junction degradation and neuronal damage. These findings underscore the importance of closely monitoring musculoskeletal health in patients receiving semaglutide.
