A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
INTRODUCTION: Oral semaglutide improves cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in clinical trials, though real-world evidence is limited. We aimed to determine the real-world impact of oral semaglutide on routinely collected…
Purpose Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are an increasingly prevalent class of drugs for managing overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Postmarket surveillance is essential for characterizing their risk profiles in rea…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: With obesity affecting over one billion people globally, understanding and managing this complex condition is more crucial than ever. This review explores the emerging role of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) in weight management,…
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a grouping of monogenic disorders. It is characterized by dominantly inherited, non-insulin-dependent diabetes. MODY is relatively rare, encompassing up to 3.5% in those diagnosed under 30 years of age.…
: Metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents a major clinical complication of obesity.: In this study, we used magnetic resonance (MR) methods to determine the effect of obesity treatment with semaglutide, a GLP-1 rec…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) help manage type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and may have efficacy in steatotic liver disease.To determine the prevalence and clinical impact of GLP-1 RA use in patients with T2DM and liver disease.This was…
OBJECTIVE: Podocytes are closely related to renal function as an important part of the glomerulus. The reduction and damage of podocytes lead to further decline of renal function and aggravate the progression of DKD. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor…
BACKGROUND/AIM: In the SUSTAIN-6 trial, semaglutide reduced the risk of worsening nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes. The objective of this retrospective study was to elucidate the effect and safety of oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) in patient…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: A protective role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-ra) in the development of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema has been described in some recent…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study presents a budget impact analysis (BIA) conducted in Saudi Arabia, evaluating the cost implications of adopting semaglutide, tirzepatide, or dulaglutide in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patien…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a novel diabetes management medication, is known for its efficacy in inducing weight loss. Despite this, its impact on outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate if THA…
CONTEXT: In previous SURPASS studies tirzepatide reduced hemoglobin glycated A1c (HbA1c) and body weight and improved markers of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function to a greater extent than comparators. OBJECTIVE: Explore changes in biomarkers of…
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) that has gained recent popularity in its effective management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Minimal evidence has reported the link between Semaglutide use and acute…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is defined as steatotic liver disease (SLD) in the presence of one or more cardiometabolic risk factor(s) and the absence o…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in preventing hyperkalemia in people with ty…
AIM: Despite the increasing use of combination treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, data are limited on the effects of combination treatment on markers of cardiovascular disease. This…
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: Obesity is a significant public health issue; new therapies and pharmaceutical approaches to weight management are needed. OBJECTIVE: This study assesses weight reduction efficacy in the novel swallow balloon procedure and semaglutide, bo…
