A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
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…
Obesity management is evolving with the integration of digital and pharmacological innovations. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) offers dynamic insights into glucose variability, while glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), such as…
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the long- and short-term cost-effectiveness of once-weekly semaglutide versus dulaglutide for treating patients with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled with metformin after the renewal of China's national reimburs…
Semaglutide (Ozempic), a Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has shown promise in improving glycemic control and offering renal protection in type 2 diabetes. We present the case of a 40-year-old male with poorly controlled type 2 diabe…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are commonly used to treat diabetes and obesity. Emerging evidence suggests that GLP-1 RAs may be linked to increased gastric residual content (GRC), aspiration pneumonia, and aborted…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) reduces systemic and gut inflammation. Here we assessed whether gain or loss of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) signaling modifies the extent of gut injury and inflammation in experimental murine acute graft vs. hos…
IMPORTANCE: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major cause of hospitalization, often occurring in patients with cardiometabolic comorbidities such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Although early trials of semaglutide and tirze…
BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of acquired vision loss in middle-aged adults. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are widely used in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Emerging evidence has suggested a…
INTRODUCTION: To investigate outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes who switched to once-weekly (OW) semaglutide from another glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) in clinical practice. METHODS: This post hoc analysis used data from the…
The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the human body and has an impact on the physiological function of the host. In particular, changes in the gut microbiota are especially pronounced in patients with type 2 diabetes. There is ample evidence th…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor (GLP1R) agonists have become widespread anti-obesity/diabetes pharmaceuticals in the United States. AIM: This article aimed to provide our current knowledge on the plausible mechanisms linked to the role…
Pharmacotherapy is part of a comprehensive guideline-conform treatment concept for people with obesity. The foundation of obesity treatment is initially a conservative multimodal basic treatment and consists of a low-energy diet, increased physical a…
