Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Liraglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Liraglutide.

    In a 16-year-old girl with severe obesity and an INSR gene mutation, liraglutide given after limited benefit from metformin was followed by weight loss 3 months after initiation.
