"Semaglutide Reduces Cardiomyocyte Size and Cardiac Mass in Lean and Obese Mice" was also written by UoA researchers. I don't see anything nefarious in the choice of the title for the news blurb.

No. That’s talking about the compounded versions (NOT in an auto pen) that were temporarily allowed due to shortages, but whose authorization has since been revoked.
