Semaglutide Effects on Insulin Sensitivity and β-Cell Function in Patients With Schizophrenia, Prediabetes, and Obesity Treated With Second-Generation Antipsychotics: Findings From the HISTORI Trial, a 30-Week Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial Wit

Semaglutide significantly improved insulin sensitivity, reduced insulin resistance, lowered fasting glucose, and promoted substantial weight loss in patients with antipsychotic-induced metabolic disturbances. Weight loss partly mediated the metabolic improvements, while β-cell function remained largely unchanged. These findings support semaglutide as a potential strategy for mitigating metabolic dysfunction in this high-risk population.
