A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
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…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Oral semaglutide has undergone global Phase 3 development programs named PIONEER and approved for therapeutic use in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aim to systematically review the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide i…
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) in treating polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) remains unclear. While GLP1-RAs are known to promote weight loss in patients with diabetes and living with obesity, their impact on weight re…
IMPORTANCE: Body mass index (BMI) of the 95th or greater percentile for age and sex is common among young people, and its prevalence has increased in recent decades. OBJECTIVE: To examine the benefits and harms of weight management interventions init…
CONTEXT/OBJECTIVE: To describe the effect of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, to reduce body weight and improve glycemic control in overweight or obese individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). DESIGN: Open-label, randomized d…
AIM: Tirzepatide, a dual agonist of glucagon-like peptide receptor and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor, is expected to exhibit high clinical efficacy in obese type 2 diabetic patients. We evaluated the effects of tirzepatide on…
Semaglutide is the first oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog commercially available for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this work, semaglutide was incorporated into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) nanoparti…
BACKGROUND: Paediatric obesity disproportionately impacts individuals from minoritized racial and ethnic backgrounds. Recent guidelines support use of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy for adolescents with obesity, but the potential impact on disparities…
Long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have traditionally been used for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. More recently, the medical community in the United States has used its most common side effect, weight loss, as an ad…
In the present narrative review, we have summarized evidence on the pharmacological treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We start by reviewing the epidemiology of the…
PURPOSE: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) are effective therapies in lowering glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA), providing cardioprotective benefits, and lowering weight. The use of GLP1-RA solely for weight-loss has become commonplace…
BACKGROUND: Recent Food and Drug Administration approvals of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists linked to substantial weight loss have generated interest in demand projections. However, a longitudinal analysis in a large, diverse, curr…
Tirzepatide is the first ever once-weekly, injectable gastric inhibitory peptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 (GIP/GLP-1) dual agonist approved by the European Medicines Agency for type 2 diabetes. The efficacy and safety of tirzepatide have been evaluate…
(1) Background: Modulators of the Neuropeptide Y (NPY) system are involved in energy metabolism, but the effect of NPY receptor antagonists on metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a common obesity-related comorbidity, are…
