Semaglutide

Excessive caloric intake, particularly dietary triglycerides contributes to the development of obesity. Monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (hMOGAT2/mMgat2) plays a crucial role in their resynthesis for their transport to the liver. The human MOGAT2 i…

BACKGROUND: Adipose tissue secretome plays a crucial role in the mechanisms of metabolic diseases. Weight loss has a favourable effect on the adipose tissue secretome and prevents the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complicatio…

RATIONALE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, such as semaglutide, are increasingly utilized in clinical practice due to their efficacy in promoting sustained weight loss following chronic administration. While acute treatment with GL…

: Semaglutide and Liraglutide are medications in the Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1 RAs) class used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity in Saudi Arabia. Although the 1.0 mg once weekly dosage of Semaglutide does not have a labeled…

AIMS: Researches have shown that diabetes mellitus (DM) can promote the risk and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is currently employed to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D…

CONTEXT: Individuals with psychiatric disorders have a higher prevalence of obesity, partly because of the use of psychotropic medications. Safe and effective pharmacological interventions for weight management in this population are needed. OBJECTIV…

Diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder affecting over 37 million people in the United States. Without proper management, diabetes can lead to a myriad of complications, including cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, and vision loss. Obesity is a…

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that is highly efficacious in reducing food intake and body weight. While semaglutide reduces adipose tissue, there is also a loss of lean mass including skeletal muscle, though it is unclear whether this trans…

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes and weight management, are known for their metabolic benefits but may have unrecognized side effects. This study investigates the association between GLP-1 recep…

INTRODUCTION: With recent clinical implementation of tirzepatide, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are transitioning from glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) to a dual gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 RA-like t…

INTRODUCTION: Injectable formulations are common for protein-based therapeutics. However, non-injectable formulations are crucial for improving patient compliance. This study aims to develop hyaluronic acid/aminoclay-based dissolving microneedles as…

AIMS: To discover alternative dosing regimens of incretin mimetics that simultaneously reduce costs and maintain weight loss efficacy. As a secondary objective, we used our results to explore how allocating a limited incretin mimetics budget could af…

Tumor cells have substantially increased lipid biogenesis, which is primarily regulated by the activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP). However, whether SREBP regulation can be targeted for cancer treatment remains unclear. He…

INTRODUCTION: The impact of obesity on pregnancy outcomes and offspring health has received increasing attention. Semaglutide have been shown to have significant effects on weight management. This study aims to evaluate whether Pre-pregnancy Semaglut…

The effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in facilitating weight loss among patients with diabetes is widely recognized. However, there are limited data available on the relative effectiveness and safety of once-weekly semaglutid…

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have recently been suggested as effective therapies to treat or reduce the risk of developing secondary lymphedema in patients with obesity; however, it is unknown whether the observed im…
