    • Incretin-based agents are a new class of drugs for the treatment of diabetes and obesity and are considered a transformative breakthrough in the field. These novel therapeutics achieve synergistic metabolic benefits. The first such compound, reported in 2009, was based on balanced co-agonism at glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. Today, several classes of gut hormone co-agonists are in development and advancing through clinical trials, including dual GLP-1-glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) co-agonists, and triple GIP-GLP-1-glucagon co-agonists. The GLP-1-GIP co-agonist tirzepatide was approved in 2022 by the US FDA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, providing significant weight reduction. In this Perspective, we summarize the discovery, development, mechanisms of action and clinical efficacy of the different types of incretin-based agents, and discuss potential challenges, limitations and future developments.

    • Numerous studies have been conducted on the association between the decline in muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, and cardio-metabolic diseases. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the quality of muscles, as research findings suggest that muscle quality is important in various aspects, in addition to muscle mass reduction.
    • Myosteatosis, an important factor determining muscle quality, has emerged as a risk factor for new cardio-metabolic diseases beyond sarcopenia. In this session, we aim to explore the prevalence of myosteatosis and its relationship with cardio-metabolic diseases. Furthermore, we aim to investigate its significance by comparing it with the accumulation of other ectopic fats.

    Plenary Lecture 3

    Organizer: Il-Young Kim (Gachon University School of Medicine, Korea)

    • Prof. William Evans is widely respected as the world’s foremost authority in human muscle aging research. He was the first to describe the condition called sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Muscle plays a central role in physiological metabolism beyond its role in physical function and various clinical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity. Particularly in the context of weight management, muscle plays a key role in energy metabolism as loss of muscle mass with advancing age results in a substantial decrease in basal metabolic rate. In this plenary lecture, Prof. Evans will discuss the importance of muscle mass and metabolism on energy metabolism and functional capacity. Furthermore, Prof. Evans will introduce new methods for the evaluation of muscle mass that now enable demonstration of the importance of muscle mass and its association with poor functional status, risk of disability, hip fracture, and mortality.

    • Sarcopenia is the age-associated loss of muscle mass and strength and is characterized by anabolic resistance, i.e., blunted anabolic response (muscle protein synthesis) to exercise or nutrition, which (in)directly affects other clinical conditions. To discover effective therapeutics, it is of important 1) to understand dysregulated dynamics of aging muscle proteome and 2) to acutely assess muscle mass to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic candidates, both of which were largely underappreciated over the past decades. In this symposium, these issues will be discussed by two world’s foremost authorities, Prof. Evans (for direct muscle mass) and Prof. Hellerstein (for dynamics of muscle proteome), respectively. Lastly, Prof. Kim will discuss anabolic resistance to exercise in aging muscle and the potential therapeutic effect of balanced essential amino acids.

    Plenary Lecture 3

    Organizer: Il-Young Kim (Gachon University School of Medicine, Korea)

    • Prof. William Evans is widely respected as the world’s foremost authority in human muscle aging research. He was the first to describe the condition called sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Muscle plays a central role in physiological metabolism beyond its role in physical function and various clinical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity. Particularly in the context of weight management, muscle plays a key role in energy metabolism as loss of muscle mass with advancing age results in a substantial decrease in basal metabolic rate. In this plenary lecture, Prof. Evans will discuss the importance of muscle mass and metabolism on energy metabolism and functional capacity. Furthermore, Prof. Evans will introduce new methods for the evaluation of muscle mass that now enable demonstration of the importance of muscle mass and its association with poor functional status, risk of disability, hip fracture, and mortality.

    • In childhood and adolescent obesity, individual and family factors, lifestyle habits, as well as the given environment and school play an important role. This session will examine the status, necessity, and effectiveness of physical activity in schools, and explore strategies for managing obesity in children and adolescents in terms of social work, such as vulnerable groups and health inequalities. Lastly, in a situation where exposure to various social media is rapidly increasing in Korea, we will examine obesity management and education using social media that was studied among American college students, and examine its effectiveness and applicability. It is hoped that this session will provide an expanded perspective and insight into childhood and adolescent obesity.
