While there has been extensive research on dietary patterns and weight loss, the most effective intervention is reduction in caloric intake [19]
13 The latest meta-analysis shows that AN adult patients have an average reduction of 0.16 kg in whole-body bone mineral content, 14 and there is no gender difference in the reduction of BMD in adolescent patients, 15 In terms of bone microstructure, abnormalities are observed in the distal radius and distal tibia of AN patients, manifested as reduced volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), decreased cortical bone area and thickness, increased porosity, decreased trabecular bone density and increased separation degree, but the results of studies on trabecular bone number changes are inconsistent
Nonetheless, the magnitude of weight reduction observed at higher doses is notable given that achieving substantial weight loss in individuals with type 2 diabetes has historically been more difficult than in those with obesity alone, partly due to the metabolic effects of the condition itself and certain antidiabetic medications
Additionally, IGF-1 enhances expression and activity of enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism, including carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1, the rate-limiting enzyme for fatty acid entry into mitochondria for oxidation
