The anti-inflammatory pathways modulated by GLP-1 receptor activation (NF-kB suppression, macrophage polarization, Treg enhancement) are largely distinct from the pathways targeted by: Methotrexate: Folate metabolism disruption, different anti-inflammatory pathway TNF inhibitors (adalimumab, etanercept): Direct TNF blockade, whereas GLP-1 reduces TNF production upstream IL-6 inhibitors (tocilizumab): Receptor-level blockade, while GLP-1 reduces IL-6 production JAK inhibitors (tofacitinib, baricitinib): Different signaling pathway entirely Corticosteroids: Broad immunosuppression, while GLP-1 is immunomodulatory This pathway complementarity is why additive benefit is biologically plausible
Everything we know from the trial data: Mounjaro (15mg) delivered an average weight loss of 22.5% of body weight at 72 weeks (SURMOUNT-1)
In the phase 2 trial, the 8mg group achieved approximately 17.3% weight reduction at 24 weeks, a rate of loss that would not be possible without profound appetite suppression driving significant caloric deficit
