The study tracked body weight, appetite, and body composition, measuring fat mass, muscle mass, and visceral fat, the metabolically active tissue around the internal organs, by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), a method that estimates tissue composition by passing a low electrical current through the body
Furthermore, they demonstrated clinically relevant benefits, including a reduced requirement for exogenous pulmonary surfactant (both in the number of infants needing treatment and the total dose administered) and a shortened duration of mechanical ventilation compared to the placebo group (73)
Higher doses do not guarantee faster results
