Symposium
Weight Loss and Skeletal Muscle
On February 19, 2025, the Assistant Professorship of Exercise, Nutrition, and Health invites you to a scientific symposium focusing on the effects of weight loss on skeletal muscle.
The spotlight will be on GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Wegovy, Ozempic), which have revolutionized obesity treatment but can also lead to the loss of lean mass, particularly muscle. Experts from the Technical University of Munich, Ludwig Maximilian University and the Helmholtz Center Munich will present the latest research findings and discuss new solutions.
