MEXICO CITY, May 31 2021 (IPS) - Hit by the pandemic’s socioeconomic and health impacts, Latin America is facing the challenge of financing an economic recovery based on a sustainable energy sector and a transition to clean sources of energy.

1.2-mg cagrilintide: 15.7% drop in body weight from baseline
2.4-mg cagrilintide: 17.1% drop
4.5-mg cagrilintide: 15.4% drop
In comparison with placebo plus semaglutide, 1.2 mg, 2.4 mg, and 4.5 mg of cagrilintide plus semaglutide all resulted in significantly greater estimated treatment differences for change in baseline body weight.
Doses of 0.16 mg (8.3% drop in baseline body weight), 0.30 mg (10% drop), and 0.60 mg (10.6% drop) of cagrilintide plus 2.4-mg semaglutide all yielded slightly greater drops in baseline body weight versus placebo plus semaglutide, although the differences weren t statistically significantly.
Across the board, glycemic parameters showed improvement in all treatment groups regardless of the cagrilintide dose.
These findings built upon a previous phase II monotherapy trial, initially presented at the 2020 virtual ObesityWeek, which met its primary endpoint showing a 10.8% weight loss at week 26 with 4.5-mg cagrilintide compared with a 3% weight loss w
Inflammasomes could play an important role in the development of obesity-related colon cancer
New research presented at this year s European Congress on Obesity (held online, 10-13 May) finds evidence that structures called inflammasomes (a part of the innate immune system that helps to regulate inflammation) could play an important role in the development of obesity-associated colon cancer.
The study is by Dr Victoria Catalán and Professor Gema Frühbeck, University Hospital Navarra and CIBEROBN, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Pamplona, Spain, and colleagues.
Inflammasomes form part of the innate immune system which provides the first line of defense against pathogens using a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological responses.
