A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires implementation of prevention and management strategies that reduce the risk of kidney failure and CKD-associated cardiovascular risk. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by obesity, hig…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are breakthrough medicines for obesity treatment and have rapidly gained widespread clinical application. Although GLP-1RAs are generally not associated with drug-drug interactions (DDI…
OBJECTIVE: Limited data exist on telemedicine prescribing of semaglutide and tirzepatide. The effects of a telehealth obesity management program combining the provision of semaglutide and tirzepatide with a behavioral program tailored for long-acting…
BACKGROUND: Prior studies showed worse outcomes in obese inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, especially those related to hospitalizations, surgery, and steroid-free remission. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have demonstra…
Type 2 diabetes significantly increases cardiovascular risk. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) reduce major adverse cardiovascular events, heart failure hospitalizations, and death. However, the comparison among GLP-1 RAs on cardio…
BACKGROUND: The American Diabetes Association recommends the use of glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) (e.g., Ozempic) for patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including peripheral artery disease. We hypothesized in…
BACKGROUND: GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly prescribed for diabetes and obesity management. Recent pharmacovigilance reports have raised concerns about potential neuropsychiatric adverse events, yet comprehensive safety assessment…
Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) is a rare genetic disorder leading to adipose tissue deficiency/redistribution and metabolic dysregulation with insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. Coincidence of FPLD and autoantibody-positi…
BACKGROUND: -MODY constitutes 5%-10% of MODY cases; however, treatment options remain unclearly recommended, and long-term follow-up of patients with-MODY is lacking due to limited research. Here, we report a case carrying a newvariant of. The patien…
PURPOSE: To compare the hazard of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) among nondiabetic, weight loss-eligible adults prescribed glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs; semaglutide or liraglutide) versus other weight loss (OWL) pharma…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a relapsing condition and response to anti-obesity therapies appears to be normally distributed. Therefore, some patients undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) will demonstrate a partial response to therapy. When prescri…
BACKGROUND: Randomized clinical trials have shown that semaglutide is associated with a clinically relevant reduction in body weight and a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular events in those who are overweight or obese with a history of cardiovascul…
OBJECTIVE: Investigate the impact and mechanism of semaglutide (Sema) combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on hepatic glucose/lipid metabolism in db/db mice using untargeted metabolomics. METHODS: Db/db mice were divided into model c…
Semaglutide and tirzepatide represent new treatment modalities for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, expanding the range of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor analog while tirzepatide is a du…
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an important common comorbidity in subjects with type 2 diabetes, and liver fibrosis is a factor directly related to its prognosis. Glucagon-like peptide-1 rec…
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is FDA approved under the brand names Ozempic for treatment of type 2 diabetes and Wegovy for the treatment of overweight or obesity. The soaring popularity of these drugs, driven by social med…
