Abstract

Purpose: Patients with tumors involving the hypothalamic region are at high risk of developing morbid obesity due to disturbances in the appetite regulative nuclei in hypothalamus. We evaluated the effect of the Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogue semaglutide in patients with hypothalamic obesity.

Methods: We recorded weight changes from real-time data before and after treatment with semaglutide in patients with hypothalamic obesity from our outpatient clinic at the Department of Endocrinology at Rigshospitalet, from September 2020 to November 2023.

Results: A total of 26 patients were included in this study (15 females, median age at initiation of semaglutide was 52 (range 18-65) years). Body mass index (BMI) at initial diagnosis was median 25 (range 20-38) kg/m² while BMI at initiation of semaglutide was median 38 (range 28-58) kg/m². All but one patient lost weight during semaglutide treatment with a mean weight loss of 13.4 kg (95% CI 10.3-16.5 kg, p = < 0.001) after 12 months corresponding to a loss in BMI of 4.4 kg/m² (95% CI 3.4-5.4 kg/m², p = < 0.001) with a median dosage of semaglutide of 1.6 (range 0.5-2.5) mg. Fifteen patients (58%) lost more than 10% and two patients (8%) lost more than 20% of initial body weight, respectively.

Conclusion: Treatment with semaglutide shows promising results in reducing body weight in patients with acquired hypothalamic obesity. Whether the weight reduction remains stable after long time follow-up needs further investigation.

塞马鲁肽治疗下丘脑肥胖症--一项真实生活数据研究。

目的：由于下丘脑食欲调节核的紊乱，下丘脑区域肿瘤患者极易发展为病态肥胖。我们评估了胰高血糖素样肽1（GLP-1）类似物塞马鲁肽对下丘脑肥胖症患者的影响：2020年9月至2023年11月，我们通过实时数据记录了Rigshospitalet医院内分泌科门诊下丘脑肥胖症患者在使用塞马鲁肽治疗前后的体重变化：本研究共纳入 26 名患者（15 名女性，开始使用塞马鲁肽时的中位年龄为 52 岁（18-65 岁不等））。初诊时的体重指数（BMI）中位数为 25（20-38）千克/平方米，而开始使用塞马鲁肽时的体重指数中位数为 38（28-58）千克/平方米。除一名患者外，所有患者在接受塞马鲁肽治疗期间体重均有所下降，平均体重下降13.4千克（95% CI 10.3-16.5千克，P = 2（95% CI 3.4-5.4千克/平方米，P = 结论：塞马鲁肽治疗显示出良好的疗效：使用塞马鲁肽治疗后天性下丘脑肥胖症患者，在减轻体重方面取得了良好效果。至于长期随访后体重是否仍能保持稳定，还需进一步研究。

期刊介绍： Pituitary is an international publication devoted to basic and clinical aspects of the pituitary gland. It is designed to publish original, high quality research in both basic and pituitary function as well as clinical pituitary disease. The journal considers: Biology of Pituitary Tumors Mechanisms of Pituitary Hormone Secretion Regulation of Pituitary Function Prospective Clinical Studies of Pituitary Disease Critical Basic and Clinical Reviews Pituitary is directed at basic investigators, physiologists, clinical adult and pediatric endocrinologists, neurosurgeons and reproductive endocrinologists interested in the broad field of the pituitary and its disorders. The Editorial Board has been drawn from international experts in basic and clinical endocrinology. The journal offers a rapid turnaround time for review of manuscripts, and the high standard of the journal is maintained by a selective peer-review process which aims to publish only the highest quality manuscripts. Pituitary will foster the publication of creative scholarship as it pertains to the pituitary and will provide a forum for basic scientists and clinicians to publish their high quality pituitary-related work.
