Muscles, Metabolic Surgery, and MASLD: AMRA Medical to Highlight Latest Research Exploring the Connection Between at EASL 2026

AMRA is at the 2026 EASL Congress in Barcelona, Spain to present new findings exploring the impact of metabolic surgery on muscle composition in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The poster presentation, titled “Impact of metabolic surgery on muscle composition in patients with MASLD: A longitudinal MRI study,” highlights how MRI-based measures can provide a more comprehensive understanding of treatment effects beyond weight loss.

Conducted in collaboration with researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of California San Diego led by principal investigators Scott Reeder, MD, PhD and Claude Sirlin, and with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, the longitudinal study assessed changes in muscle quantity and quality among adults with obesity undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery. Using AMRA® Researcher, investigators quantified thigh muscle volume, muscle fat infiltration, intramuscular fat volume, and personalized muscle volume z-scores across five MRI visits spanning pre-surgery through one year post-operation.

Can MSK MRI help drive impact in population health? Come find out at ISMRM 2026!

AMRA is looking forward to touching down in Cape Town this weekend to take part in the 2026 edition of the ISMRM Annual Meeting, which runs from May 9-14! We are especially excited given that on Saturday, May 9, AMRA’s own Per Widholm will deliver an invited lecture during the “History of MSK MRI: Past, Present, and Future” session. His talk, “Future: Role of MSK MRI in population health,” addresses the need for a shift in clinical MSK MRI practice.

Per will discuss how a transition toward using standardized and reproducible quantitative biomarkers, like those developed by AMRA, will be an important part of introducing a population health perspective within MSK MRI.

We’re excited to be part of the conversation and hope to see you in Cape Town! If you will be at the conference and want to get in touch, make sure to tune into Per’s session, and feel free to reach out to connect with our team onsite featuring Andrea Robina and Per Widholm, or contact us at [email protected].

We hope to see you there!

What happens to muscle composition following bariatric surgery?

The AMRA team is heading to Istanbul for the 33rd European Congress on Obesity to share findings from a study using our MRI-based muscle biomarkers to quantify and assess longitudinal changes in muscle composition among adults with obesity undergoing metabolic surgery.

Researchers from AMRA, alongside our collaborators at the University of California San Diego, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Regeneron investigated muscle composition changes in 98 participants. The results showed that while surgery leads to an overall reduction in muscle mass, it also improves muscle quality through decreased fat infiltration. Most muscle volume loss occurred within the first 12 weeks and plateaued by one year, with signs of recovery relative to body weight over time.

The study, titled ‘Impact of metabolic surgery on muscle composition: A longitudinal MRI study’ will be shared during an oral presentation by AMRA’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Jennifer Linge, featured as a “Hot Topics” abstract during the T4 Session on May 14th from 11:30 - 13:00.

If you’ll be in Istanbul for ECO 2026, make sure to tune into our presentation and connect with Jennifer Linge, Leanna Kellerman and Nicklas Weman onsite to learn more about our science!

New AMRA Research Assessing the Impact of AMC in CKD Published in Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology!

AMRA Medical researchers recently set out to answer the question: does muscle composition identify high-risk individuals with chronic kidney disease? The answer showed that adverse muscle composition (AMC), characterized by low muscle volume z-score and high muscle fat infiltration, is an independent and strong predictor of all-cause mortality in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Over a mean follow-up period of 3.6 years, individuals with CKD and AMC showed a markedly increased risk of all-cause mortality, with an unadjusted hazard ratio of 6.17. Importantly, this association remained significant even after adjusting for demographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors, with a hazard ratio of 4.21.

These findings highlight AMC as a clinically meaningful phenotype, enabling broader stratification of high-risk individuals and supporting the value of MRI-based muscle biomarkers in clinical trials across chronic diseases.

What an amazing Day Two we’ve had here at the 3rd Annual GLP-1-Based Therapeutics Summit! The sessions expanded the conversation beyond cardiometabolic disease, highlighting just how quickly the therapeutic horizon for GLP-1s is evolving.

A major theme throughout the day was about exploring the potential of GLP-1-based therapies in areas such as neurodegenerative disease, aging, addiction, and women’s health, reinforcing the growing idea that these therapies may extend their benefit beyond weight loss into new disease areas.

The day concluded with a forward-looking perspective: GLP-1 therapies are no longer confined to diabetes or obesity. Instead, they are emerging as a foundational platform for a new generation of treatments, where personalization and expanded applications will define the next wave of innovation.

“What stood out from this meeting is how the conversation has shifted towards what these therapies can do beyond weight loss and importantly, how well we can measure their effects, " says AMRA’s Chief Globalization Officer, Leanna Kellerman. “This is something that AMRA has kept in mind as we continue to pioneer development of MRI-based methods and measures for metabolic research and beyond, and we couldn’t be more excited about the future of the field after this conference.”

AMRA has wrapped up Day One at the 3rd Annual GLP-1-Based Therapeutics Summit here in Boston, and today has made one thing clear: we’ve officially moved beyond the first wave of GLP-1 success into a far more complex and competitive phase of innovation!

Across sessions, conversations centered on combination therapies, expanding into new indications like kidney and liver disease, and unlocking broader clinical impact through more personalized approaches.

Importantly, the discussion on Day One shifted toward how we evaluate these therapies. A key highlight was AMRA’s session, “Reshaping the Standard: MRI Muscle Composition for Treatment Evaluation and Differentiation in Metabolic Disease and Beyond,” presented by CSO Dr. Jennifer Linge. Drawing on nearly two decades of research, the session highlighted how AMRA’s standardized MRI muscle biomarkers enable consistent, interpretable assessment of muscle composition. Central to this was the use of weight- and BMI-invariant muscle volume Z-Scores, which uncover treatment effects independent of body weight. As therapies continue to drive significant weight loss, these insights are becoming critical to understanding true treatment effects, individual response, and opportunities for differentiation across GLP-1 therapies.

Stay tuned to find out what we learn from tomorrow’s highly-anticipated Day Two! If you’re in Boston this week for the Summit and would like to connect with AMRA onsite, reach out to us at [email protected].
