At present, the lack of large-scale, confirmatory clinical trials specifically targeting MC4R deficiency is largely due to significant scientific and clinical heterogeneity, which has made conducting such trials logistically challenging and commercially less appealing compared to pursuing broader or more clearly defined patient populations
This initiates a cascade that leads to the activation of protein kinase A (PKA), closing of potassium channels, depolarization, and release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum.3 An increase of intracellular calcium levels within the cell initiates insulin expression in the nucleus, stimulates energy (ATP) production in the mitochondria, and triggers the release of insulin into the blood stream in a glucose dependent manner (image adapted from Adipogen Life Sciences).4,5 Several commercially and prescribed agents are now available for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes
