Evaluation: Body fat (DXA scanning) Lean mass Insulin sensitivity Energy expenditure What they found: The combination showed an additive effect on fat reduction vs monotherapy AOD-9604 partially protected lean mass during GLP-1-induced weight reduction Increased energy expenditure in combination (~3 % vs GLP-1 alone) No new safety signals Why it matters: It validates the concept of combination , the idea that AOD-9604 may not work on its own, but can add value in combination with incretin agonists

The metabolic changes come from cellular-level effects rather than artificially elevated sympathetic tone
