In STEP 1 (semaglutide, 68 weeks, DEXA), roughly 30-40% of total weight lost was fat-free mass — versus about 25% for caloric restriction alone.

A scale cannot tell you which tissue left.

So I suspect there's many more pwME in precarious health no one knows about as it's too dangerous to risk hospital until there's no choice.

(Just to note: I was vv.lucky my cachexia(?) resolved – still don't know why, stopping/restarting supps prob culprit – but if not I would've ended up there.)

Feeding mice more fat to counter cachexia backfired, leaving a puzzle.

Lung tumors in mice can trigger cachexia by directly communicating with neurons to alter eating behavior, and a high-fat diet worsened cachexia rather than reducing it.

Many people might think it is normal to experience weight loss and weakness during cancer treatment, but medical experts yesterday warned that it could also be “cancer cachexia,” and that insufficient muscle mass can even cause treatment to […]

Mice with cancer-related wasting had about 30% greater grip strength after antibody treatment than untreated mice. The candidate’s safety and efficacy in humans remain unproven. doi.org/hcqqtq
Antibody candidate could help preserve appetite and muscle strength in patients with cancer
In cancer cachexia, patients continue to lose weight, muscle and fat even when they eat. A KAIST research team has developed a therapeutic candidate that blocks a signal responsible for appetite suppression, weight loss and excessive energy expenditure.
