A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND: Hypothalamic obesity represents a clinical condition within the broader spectrum of obesity that frequently eludes detection and appropriate diagnosis. This subset of obesity is characterized by a dearth of established predictive markers…
PURPOSE: We aimed to estimate the association of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist therapy with the incidence of endoscopically visible gastric contents after preprocedural fasting. METHODS: We reviewed the records of esophagogastroduo…
CONTEXT: There has been growing recognition of the need for considering weight-loss strategies following metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) to limit the magnitude of potential weight regain. The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1R…
PURPOSE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a frequent cause of infertility in reproductive-age women. Our work aims to evaluate the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on gut microbiota, with metabolic parameters includi…
BACKGROUND: Nowadays type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) leads to population mortality growth. Today glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are one of the most promising glucose-lowered drugs with anorexigenic and cardioprotective effe…
With the increasing prevalence of obesity and the advent of new and highly effective antiobesity medications, there is renewed interest in novel antiobesity pharmacotherapy. Currently, the most effective medications for obesity are injectable medicin…
AIMS/INTRODUCTION: PIONEER REAL Japan was a non-interventional, multicenter, prospective study investigating oral semaglutide in adults with type 2 diabetes in routine clinical practice. We report baseline characteristics of participants enrolled in…
Obesity is a complex health issue with growing prevalence worldwide. It is also becoming more prevalent in the population of older adults (i.e., 65 years of age and older), affecting frequency and severity as well as other comorbidities, quality of l…
BACKGROUND: Previous meta-analyses of summary data from randomised controlled trials have shown that statin therapy increases the risk of diabetes, but less is known about the size or timing of this effect, or who is at greatest risk. We aimed to add…
INTRODUCTION: Recent trials have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists considerably reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Oxidative stress, a surrogate marker of cardiovascular…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), such as semaglutide (Ozempic®), have emerged as effective treatments for diabetes and weight management. However, recent evidence indicates that GLP-1R signalling influences various tissues, inclu…
BACKGROUND: Reports of reduced desire to smoke in patients treated with semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) medication for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, have raised interest about its potential benefit for t…
OBJECTIVE: Co-treatment with long acting PYY and the GLP-1 receptor agonists has potential as an efficient obesity treatment. This study investigates whether the mechanisms behind additive reduction of food intake and weight loss depends on complemen…
