I like how they aren't saying Semaglutide in the title in an attempt to perhaps keep it from immediate scrutiny.

"Semaglutide Reduces Cardiomyocyte Size and Cardiac Mass in Lean and Obese Mice" was also written by UoA researchers. I don't see anything nefarious in the choice of the title for the news blurb.
