A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are employed extensively in the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, there is a paucity of real-world data on their safety and tolerability for metabolic and nutritional adverse eve…
BACKGROUND: Premature cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in people living with type 1 diabetes. Therapies are urgently needed to address cardiovascular risk in this group. Semaglutide, a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have been developed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although, in the last 10 years, the use of GLP-1 RAs, especially semaglutide and liraglutide, has increased, its clinical implications and h…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor-agonists (GLP-1ra), such as semaglutide, have emerged as promising treatments, demonstrating sustained weight reduction and metabolic benefits. This study aims to assess the impact of oral and subcutaneous…
Semaglutide is a potent glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition to this, it has emerging potential clinical implications. First, there is accumulating preliminary data on its potential role…
Obesity is a major public health crisis in the United States (US) affecting 42% of the population, exacerbating a spectrum of other diseases and contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality overall. Recent advances in pharmaceutical interven…
BACKGROUND: Obesity has been established as a significant risk factor for osteoarthritis. Anti-obesity medications (AOMs) have demonstrated efficacy in weight management. However, potential impact on osteoarthritis risk remains uncertain. METHODS: Th…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is increasingly being recognized as a chronic disease that exacerbates type 2 diabetes and its related complications. Oral semaglutide, a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has demonstrated efficacy in weight…
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Very-low calorie diets (VLCD) and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1RA) Semaglutide induce significant weight loss and improve glycaemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This pilot study was conduc…
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…
Diabetes mellitus and obesity are growing health concerns. New pharmacologic interventions have recently begun to play a more notable role in the treatment pathway of these separate but related conditions. In particular, glucagon-like peptide-1 recep…
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological disorder characterized by elevated intracranial pressure, predominantly affecting young women with obesity. This study evaluates the effectiveness of semaglutide as an adjunctiv…
The degradation of peptide drugs limits the application of peptide drug microspheres. Structural changes of peptides at the water-oil interface and the destruction of their spatial structure in the complex microenvironment during polymer degradation…
