GLP-1 analogs are used as agents in the existing treatment of obesity. However, there are lack of previous reports on the effectiveness and role of GLP-1 analogs in the development of obesity traits in patients with functionally impaired hypothalamus. With this preliminary study, the investigators would explore the role of GLP-1 analogues to identify eating behavioral pathology subtype differences in the therapeutic efficacy of GLP-1 analogues in hypothalamic obesity patients. This will allow us to identify the role of specific nuclei which could be the pathogenesis of hypothalamic obesity. Our hypotheses: GLP-1 analogs will effectively induce weight loss in patients with hypothalamic obesity, and different subtypes of hypothalamic obesity will respond differently to GLP-1 analogs.
