A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
OBJECTIVE: Semaglutide (SMG), a clinically relevant peptide-based therapeutic whose physical and chemical stability are critical concerns during manufacturing and storage. Although the stability of SMG in solution has been extensively studied, its so…
INTRODUCTION: Weight loss results in reduced energy expenditure (EE) due to body composition alterations (e.g., fat-free mass and fat mass losses) and mass-independent adaptations in EE (e.g., hormones). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP…
BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) are the leading reasons for lower-limb amputation. The new antidiabetic drugs-GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RA) and SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2-I)-improve glycem…
Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), represents a rapidly expanding global health challenge with substantial public health and economic consequences. Recent advances in antidiabetic therapy-including dipeptidyl peptidase-4…
There are increasing numbers of effective drugs to improve obesity-linked metabolic dysfunction; GLP-1R-GIPR co-agonism is effective in the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and lanifibranor-a nuclear-acting small-molecule triple agonist of…
BACKGROUND: In 2023 and 2024, research into semaglutide (SEMA), an antiobesity and antidiabetic medication, indicated potential benefits beyond its approved uses, particularly in preventing Alzheimer's disease (AD). This highlights the link between o…
Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one-third of adults worldwide, particularly among individuals with obesity or type 2 diabetes, and in 10-30% progresses to metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatiti…
Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) is commonly caused by pathogenic variants in KCNJ11 that impair insulin secretion through ATP-sensitive potassium (K) channel dysfunction. Sulfonylureas (SUs) can stimulate insulin secretion and enable insu…
AIMS: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used drugs with applications beyond the management of obesity and diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to investigate the association between GLP-1 RA use and hair loss. METHODS: F…
BACKGROUND: Oral semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), has been shown to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in high-risk individuals with type 2 diabetes in the SOUL trial. Its potential population-level i…
Targeted screening for steatotic liver disease (SLD) is cost-effective and encourages lifestyle changes.The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) recommends screening adults at risk of SLD to enable timely diagnosis and prevention, e…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) semaglutide has demonstrated efficacy for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease among patients with overweight/obesity without diabetes mellitus. However, the c…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate two-year costs to insured patients treated with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. METHODS: Using the 2017 to 2023 Merative™ claims da…
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists is increasing among reproductive-aged women for obesity, diabetes, polycystic ovary sy…
OBJECTIVE: We compared health care spending and utilization associated with semaglutide relative to bariatric surgery in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: Using MarketScan insurance claims of patients with BMI ≥ 35 and T2D fro…
