Abstract:
In the management of obesity, aside from lifestyle interventions and surgery, pharmacotherapy is the most important choice. In recent years, research on the mechanisms of obesity and weight-loss drugs has been advancing rapidly. Exploring drugs that increase energy expenditure from the perspective of energy balance is beneficial for making clinical decisions based on the mechanisms of drugs and clinical needs in order to treat obesity effectively and improve the quality of life.
