A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effectiveness of semaglutide on weight loss, body composition and muscle strength in the Chinese population with obesity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data were retrospectively analyzed for pa…
BACKGROUND: GLP1R agonists provide multiple benefits to patients with type 2 diabetes - including improved glycemic control, weight loss, and decreased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Because drug responses vary among individuals, we ini…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age. This condition is characterized by hyperandrogenism and either oligo- or anovulation. PCOS patients often present comorbidities such as obesity, insul…
INTRODUCTION: The main research purpose is to compare the long-term cost-effectiveness of semaglutide (SEMA) with that of dulaglutide (DULA) for patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes throughout their lifetime. If necessary, the second…
OBJECTIVE: Currently, the most frequently prescribed once weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) in Japan are dulaglutide (DG) and semaglutide (SG). However, little is known about the differences between these two compounds in cli…
PURPOSE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have become increasingly popular as both diabetic and weight loss therapies. One effect of this class of medication is delayed gastric emptying, which may impact the risk of aspira…
The study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence for the prevention of future cancers following bariatric surgery. A systematic literature search of the Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed datab…
We assessed the effect of semaglutide 2.4 and 1.7 mg versus placebo on weight-related quality of life (WRQOL) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the STEP 6 trial. Adults from East Asia (body mass index [BMI] ≥27.0 kg/mwith ≥2 weight-relate…
AIMS: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is fundamental for the normal endocrine functions of pancreatic islet cells and plays key roles in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Here we investigated the turnover of islet ECM components, including islet…
BACKGROUND: We assessed the efficacy and safety of the oral glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, semaglutide 50 mg, taken once per day versus placebo for the treatment of overweight or obesity in adults without type 2 diabetes. METHODS: This randomised,…
INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and some cancers. Retatrutide stimulates Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, and glucagon re…
A glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) semaglutide was approved for the treatment of obesity by the Food and Drug Administration. However, it can cause gastrointestinal events at high doses, limiting its broader use. Combining drugs wi…
BACKGROUND: Digital weight management interventions have the potential to increase access to novel pharmacotherapy for people living with obesity. At present, there is limited real-world evidence on the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability o…
Introduction Oral semaglutide, with a long half-life of seven days, is the first oral-based peptide drug and is used as an antidiabetic for the reduction of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Oral semaglutide, like other glucagon-like peptide-1 recepto…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are approved for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, and some are recommended for cardiorenal risk reduction in T2D. To enhance the benefits with GLP-RA mono-ago…
INTRODUCTION: Few studies have examined the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist switching, particularly in Japanese patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of switching from liraglutide to semaglutide or dulaglutide o…
OBJECTIVES: The glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist semaglutide and the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide tirzepatide have proven to significantly reduce glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. However, the costs needed to achieve…
