Mar 26, 2025
Professor Yoon Jong-pil of orthopedic surgery at Kyungpook National University Hospital won the "2025 Korea Sports Medicine Association's Best Year Award" for his research on the effect of GLP-1 RA on fat deposition and muscle contraction in rotator cuff muscles at the 66th Korean Sports Medicine Association Spring Conference and regular general meeting held at Olympic Parktel in Seoul on the 23rd.
GLP-1 RA drugs have recently emerged as innovative therapeutic agents for diabetes, endocrine, and neurological diseases beyond simple obesity, but little has been known about their effects on muscles and joints.
Professor Yoon was evaluated for presenting a new treatment model that can prevent the decline of muscle contraction and motor function by using GLP-1 RA-based drugs when mechanical load exercise and rehabilitation are impossible due to old age or sports damage with the support of the second R&D project for research-oriented hospital development 'Building and activating a K-Mediverse-based Glocalization Hospital platform for medical service innovation (Professor Oh Chang-wook, task manager).
