Obesity type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disease in clinical practice, and its prevalence is increasing rapidly with the aging of the population and changes in lifestyle. Acupuncture, as a distinctive therapy, has its unique advantages in the treatment of obesity type 2 diabetes and has an irreplaceable role in a variety of treatment methods. The author organized the literature on acupuncture and its related therapies to prevent and treat obesity type 2 diabetes in recent years and found that acupuncture and its associated therapies to prevent and treat obesity type 2 diabetes mainly include: simple acupuncture, electroacupuncture, acupoint catgut embedding therapy, auricular-plaster therapy and other treatments, all of which can safely and effectively improve clinical symptoms, acupuncture and its related therapies to treat obesity type 2 diabetes has a broad prospect, worthy of further clinical promotion.

Abstract Obesity-related metabolic disorders, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its more progressive form non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, are causing an increased health burden, especially due to the lack of approved treatment options. Using preclinical models of NASH, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, we investigated the effects of a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) and glucagon (GCG) receptor agonist OXM-104 head to head with once-daily GLP-1/GCG receptor agonist cotadutide and once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide. OXM-104, cotadutide, and semaglutide elicited marked reductions in body weight and improved glucose control. In contrast, hepatoprotective effects, i.e., reductions in steatosis and fibrosis, as well as liver fibrosis biomarkers, were more prominent with OXM-104 and cotadutide than effects seen with semaglutide. This is demonstrated by improved NAFLD activity score (NAS) by OXM-104 and cotadutide which underlines the importance of the GCG receptor. Thus, these results underline the potential of OXM-104 as a promising therapeutic option for the resolution of NASH, but also as a therapeutic option for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
