Liver enzyme update related to liver and MASH: I had mildly elevated ALT/AST at baseline (likely NAFLD). After 10 months on GLP-1 therapy:

MarkerBaselineCurrentNormal Range
ALT59267-56 U/L
AST522010-40 U/L
GGT69329-48 U/L
ALP997644-147 U/L

FibroScan also improved — liver stiffness from 9.5 kPa to 5.2 kPa. The evidence for GLP-1 agonists in NAFLD/NASH is very promising.

ALT was mildly raised at baseline, normalised at month five, and I now have no idea whether anything happened to the fibrosis that actually matters.

ATTAIN trial (survodutide) context for liver and MASH: survodutide, a GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist, showed -18.7% body weight at 46 weeks in the Phase 3 ATTAIN trial. NASH resolution was achieved in ~60% of patients[1].

This is relevant to liver and MASH because survodutide's glucagon agonism specifically targets hepatic lipid metabolism — making it potentially the best-in-class agent for NASH/MAFLD comorbid with obesity.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

Closing the loop on my own question.

Resolved, and the thing that resolved it was the least interesting suggestion in the thread. Writing that down for the next person who wants the interesting answer.
