Semaglutide

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes, particularly among women of reproductive age. Emerging evidence suggests potential effects on ovulation, fertility, and preg…

BACKGROUND: Novel treatments are needed for the primary and secondary prevention of heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes, including individuals with and those without a history of heart failure. Conflicting trial evidence exists on whether…

BACKGROUND: Semaglutide has demonstrated the ability to reduce the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes in patients with myocardial infarction and overweight or obesity without diabetes. However, implementation of semaglutide treatment in daily cli…

Diabetic encephalopathy is a chronic neurodegenerative complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by cognitive decline, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired insulin signaling. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist,…

Hypothalamic obesity (HO) is a severe complication of suprasellar tumors characterized by hyperphagia, rapid weight gain, and resistance to lifestyle interventions. We describe a case of a woman diagnosed with suprasellar germinoma at 16 years of age…

BACKGROUND: Statin product labels (eg, Summaries of Product Characteristics [SmPCs]) list certain adverse outcomes as potential treatment-related effects based mainly on non-randomised and non-blinded studies, which might be subject to bias. We aimed…

This study aimed to investigate the anti-atherosclerotic properties of tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, in comparison with semaglutide, a selective GLP-1 receptor…

The existing literature on the effects of semaglutide in people with HIV (PWH) and diabetes mellitus remains limited. In this study, the effects of semaglutide on weight control and inflammation in PWH were evaluated.This is a prospective observation…

OBJECTIVE: To address previous inconsistencies in reports of differential adherence to diabetes medications, we examined medication adherence and evaluated treatment group differences in a substudy of participants in the Glycemia Reduction Approaches…

This narrative review synthesizes evidence identified through targeted searches of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (2010-2025), with a focused selection of human and mechanistic studies examining GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s), food cue reactivi…

INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are therapies for type 2 diabetes whose use expanded sharply after semaglutide's 2021 approval for obesity. Although gastrointestinal effects are well described, national patterns of…

The impact of GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist use on unscheduled care is not well-described. We conducted a prospective, observational study using opportunistic screening by clinicians as a first step to understanding the effect of GLP-1 or GIP/G…

AIMS: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) commonly coexist and are associated with poor outcomes. Although injectable semaglutide has demonstrated benefits in HFpEF, the effectiveness of oral semaglutide i…

Incretin-based therapies currently represent one of the cornerstones in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, owing to their ability to integratively modulate cardiometabolic risk. Semaglutide, a selective agonist of the glucagon-li…

Nutraceuticals, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and antioxidants (AOXs), are nutrient-derived bioactive compounds considered as potential treatments for metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, in vitro studies of thei…

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) agonists, such as semaglutide, drive weight loss by binding to GLP1Rs-classically described as G-coupled G-protein-coupled receptors-in the brain; however, the intracellular signalling mechanisms underlying th…
