A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) was first documented by a French physician Jean-Pierre Saint-Yves in 1817 (19th century). The clinical description of NAION was not known until 1935 when C. Miller Fischer thoroughly described i…
OBJECTIVE: The development of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity has been accompanied by evidence for anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective actions in the heart, blood vessels, kidney, a…
Obesity presents a significant health challenge, affecting 41% of adults and 19.7% of children in the United States. One of the associated health challenges of obesity is chronic low-grade inflammation. In both mice and humans, T cells in circulation…
Obesity affects one in four people in the United Kingdom and costs the National Health Service (NHS) ∼£6.5 billion annually. The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor analogues, such as once-daily subcutaneous Liraglutide 3.0 mg (Saxenda®) and onc…
AIM: To investigate whether combined treatment with empagliflozin (a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor) and semaglutide (a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist) can reduce urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) compared to treatment with…
Four glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have been used in children and adolescents with obesity or overweight. This network meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of these regimens. Embase, PubMed, and Scopu…
Non alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease that is managed in the liver departments. It seems that the prevalence of the disease is rising worldwide and as it has the same pathogenetic pathways with metabolic syndrom…
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by insufficient insulin secretion due to β-cell loss. Despite exogenous insulin administration being a lifesaving treatment, many patients still experience severe glycemic lability. For these patients, a β-cell…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used in diabetes and obesity management. Although GLP-1RAs delay gastric emptying, their impact on visibility during EGD remains uncertain. METHODS: A 1:1 matc…
The expanding roles and popularity of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists has created access barriers to medication use. We sought to describe an adverse drug event which occu…
OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of semaglutide in weight loss in non-diabetic people. METHODS: In this study, 84 non-diabetic people who used semaglutide to lose weight in the outpatient department of our hospital fr…
Obesity impacts mental health greatly. Psychological factors may influence the effectiveness of its treatment. This study aimed to compare symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder and depression among adult women across different weight categories. T…
To investigate changes in skeletal muscle mass and fat fraction in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing treatment with Semaglutide for 6months. This single-arm p…
Obesity is a significant risk factor for health issues like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It often proves resistant to traditional lifestyle interventions, prompting a need for more precise therapeutic strategies. This has led to a focu…
This review focuses on the development of therapeutic interventions for Alzheimer's dementia. While established treatments targeted acetylcholine and NMDA receptors, there is a growing demand for innovative therapies as the aging population increases…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have garnered significant attention in diabetes management, and they act by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates insulin secretion and appetite. While these medications have become…
AIM: To perform a meta-analysis comparing real-world medication adherence to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) versus glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic search of Medline and Em…
