A drug used to treat type 2 diabetes has experienced a rise in popularity after being praised for its efficacy in losing weight.
But as the fame of the drug increased, she has found it harder and harder to obtain. Sheila had to travel to Northern Ireland for her last batch, which she found in Newry. She currently has one more dose remaining, and is uncertain where, if at all, she'll get her next month's prescription."I don't know if I'm going to get it," Sheila tells Sky News."I've one week left on the injection that I have and then that's it.
Dr Woods says that Ozempic has"worked for the majority of my obesity patients", and Sheila says it's been a game-changer for her health. Former prime minister Boris Johnson has described taking Ozempic to stop his late-night"cheddar and chorizo" fridge raids."So for weeks I jabbed my stomach, and for weeks it worked', he wrote in his Daily Mail column."Effortlessly, I pushed aside the puddings and the second helpings. I must have been losing four or five pounds a week - maybe more."
Its manufacturer, Danish company Novo Nordisk, says that it expects shortages to continue for the rest of the year."We are working hard to solve these challenges," the company said in a statement, adding that it has"significantly increased production capacity", with its factories running on a 24/7 basis.

Hepatic Oxi-Inflammation and Neophobia as Potential Liver–Brain Axis Targets for Alzheimer’s Disease and Aging, with Strong Sensitivity to Sex, Isolation, and ObesityResearch on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has classically focused on alterations that occur in the brain and their intra- and extracellular neuropathological hallmarks. However, the oxi-inflammation hypothesis of aging may also play a role in neuroimmunoendocrine dysregulation and the disease’s pathophysiology, where the liver emerges as a target organ due to its implication in regulating metabolism and supporting the immune system. In the present work, we demonstrate organ (hepatomegaly), tissue (histopathological amyloidosis), and cellular oxidative stress (decreased glutathione peroxidase and increased glutathione reductase enzymatic activities) and inflammation (increased IL-6 and TNF𝛼) as hallmarks of hepatic dysfunction in 16-month-old male and female 3xTg-AD mice at advanced stages of the disease, and as compared to age- and sex-matched non-transgenic (NTg) counterparts. Moreover, liver–brain axis alterations were found through behavioral (increased neophobia) and HPA axis correlations that were enhanced under forced isolation. In all cases, sex (male) and isolation (naturalistic and forced) were determinants of worse hepatomegaly, oxidative stress, and inflammation progression. In addition, obesity in old male NTg mice was translated into a worse steatosis grade. Further research is underway determine whether these alterations could correlate with a worse disease prognosis and to establish potential integrative system targets for AD research.
