The breakdown

Semaglutide protects the liver in mice with MASH even without weight loss by directly targeting blood vessel cells.

The study linked in the post found that semaglutide works directly on blood vessel cells in the liver to protect it, not just by causing weight loss. Other research also supports this, showing that semaglutide reduces liver fat, inflammation, and scarring in mice with fatty liver disease even when the mice don't lose weight. Both lines of evidence match the claim exactly, so the mechanism seems to be real in these animal models.

Bottom line

So basically, in mice, semaglutide's liver benefits go beyond just weight loss — it actually targets cells in liver blood vessels to ease MASH.
