Summary
This study is a randomized clinical trail with a parallel design, involving 120 overweight/obese (body-mass index, BMI ≥ 24 kg/m²) participants and 20 normal-weight participants. Overweight/obese participants will be randomly allocated to one of three groups: 1) calorie restricted balanced diet (CRD)group; 2) CRD + semaglutide group; or 3) CRD + segaglutide with protein supplementation. Through a 3-month weight loss intervention and 6-month follow-up, this study aims to investigate the effects of dietary protein supplementation combined with semaglutide on weight loss, energy and glucose and lipid metabolism, muscle loss, and weight regain. Additionally, the study will explore key factors affecting intervention efficacy, including obesity phenotypes, gut microbiota profiles, genetic backgrounds, and lifestyle factors, to provide evidence for optimizing individualized intervention strategies.
