A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
OBJECTIVES: Co-agonists at the glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptors (GLP1R/GCGR) show promise as treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Although most co-agonists to date have been heavily GLP1R-bias…
Obesity is a prevalent problem in people living with T1D (PwT1D), and it has been linked to cardiovascular disease in this population. The use of low dose weekly Semaglutide (0,5 mg) was evaluated in a cohort of PwT1D and excess weight.
Despite its considerable and growing burden, there are currently no Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease or its progressive form, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatiti…
BACKGROUND: obesity affects many patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 agonists are a promising therapy for obese patients. However, there is a lack of evidence of the use of these drugs in IBD patients. This s…
: Semaglutide is the unique once-daily oral glucagon-like receptor agonist presently available. Aims of this study were to describe clinical characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) initiating oral semaglutide, to assess its effects on…
Introduction Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown the great efficacy of semaglutide in achieving significant weight loss in overweight and obese adults. However, real-world data about its effectiveness are still limited. This study e…
The efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) in type 2 diabetes mellitus is well-established. GLP1-RAs are not approved for use in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). A 34-year-old woman with a 23-year history of T1DM presented fo…
BACKGROUND: HIV-associated lipohypertrophy, which is characterised by an abnormal accumulation of abdominal visceral adipose tissue, remains problematic in people with HIV. Effective interventions are lacking, despite HIV-associated lipohypertrophy c…
AIMS: To describe trends in the use of anti-obesity drugs in Norway during the period 2004-2022. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assessed the annual utilization of any available drug indicated for obesity recorded in the nationwide Norwegian Prescribed Dru…
BACKGROUND: To estimate the long-term cost-effectiveness of once-weekly semaglutide versus sitagliptin as an add-on therapy for type 2 diabetes patients inadequately controlled on metformin in China, to better inform healthcare decision making. METHO…
Alcohol use disorders are among the top causes of the global burden of disease, yet therapeutic interventions are limited. Reduced desire to drink in patients treated with semaglutide has raised interest regarding its potential therapeutic benefits f…
BACKGROUND: Diabetes poses a serious global challenge, given its increasing prevalence, detrimental effects on public health, and substantial economic burden. Since 1950s, tens of drugs have been approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Admin…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease modulated by autoantibodies that inflame and destroy the myelin sheath encasing neuronal axons, impairing proper axonal conduction and function. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) rece…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) derived from diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI-MRI) has been proposed as a measure of changes in kidney microstructure, including kidney fibrosis. In advanced kidney disease, the kidneys often becom…
AIM: Recently, the development of the oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide has drawn a great deal of attention. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide and dipept…
Diabetes mellitus represents a significant and growing global health challenge, with its prevalence steadily increasing. Insulin therapy remains a cornerstone of diabetes management. Since its discovery in 1921, insulin has undergone substantial adva…
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: The anti-inflammatory effect could be one of the mechanisms by which semaglutide reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or obesity. Determining the anti-inflammatory effect of semaglutide was the…
