A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
INTRODUCTION: Psychotropic medications, especially antipsychotics, have been consistently shown to cause weight gain in individuals with severe mental illness (SMI), a population inherently challenged by poor physical health. Consequently, compared t…
Obesity is a chronic disease with high prevalence and associated comorbidities, making it a growing global concern. These comorbidities include type 2 diabetes, hypertension, ventilatory dysfunction, arthrosis, venous and lymphatic circulation diseas…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have been used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes since 2005 and have become popular because of the efficacy and durability in relation to glycaemic control in combination with weight loss in…
AIMS: Higher doses of the glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist semaglutide and, more recently, tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist showed a significant reduction in body weight in patients w…
Based on small-scale synthesis (0.3 g), a 100-g scale-up synthesis of crude [Aib, Arg]-glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (7-37) was completed. The crude [Aib, Arg]-GLP-1 (7-37) was purified using a dynamic axial compression column 200 (DAC-200). Approx…
Obesity is a chronically progressing disease that represents a major challenge for affected patients, health care professionals and society, since it is highly prevalent and associated with several comorbidities. The treatment of obesity aims at body…
BACKGROUND: Cardiometabolic comorbidities have been associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 severity and mortality, but more investigations are needed to determine which comorbidity is more detrimental. METHODS: Embase, Emcare, and MEDLINE were sea…
One-fourth of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) patients presenting for initial gender-affirming surgery (GAS) consult is denied surgery due to obesity. Many surgery centers enforce body mass index (BMI) requirements for GAS because of concerns ab…
INTRODUCTION: Increasing interest in real-world evidence has fueled the development of study designs incorporating real-world data (RWD). Using the, we specify three designs to evaluate the difference in risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (M…
INTRODUCTION: A post hoc analysis of the PIONEER 1-5 and 8 trials assessed the clinically relevant composite endpoints of HbA(glycated haemoglobin) reduction ≥ 1% and body weight loss of ≥ 5% or ≥ 10% with orally administered semaglutide versus compa…
BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is increasing in prevalence and is associated with a high symptom burden and functional impairment, especially in persons with obesity. No therapies have been approved to target obesity-relat…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RA) are frequently used for the management of diabetes. The impact of GLP-1 RA on cardiovascular outcomes is unclear. We aim to assess the effect of GLP-1 RA on mortality, atrial and ventri…
OBJECTIVE: In the present network meta-analysis (NMA), we aimed to compare the effectiveness of daily and weekly treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes m…
BACKGROUND: Recent reports of individuals experiencing suicidal and/or self-injurious behaviors while using liraglutide and semaglutide have heightened the concerns regarding neuropsychiatric safety of Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1RAs). As…
This study analyzes the most relevant authors, sources, cooccurrence of keywords, thematic map, and trend topics of the most recent and most cited research papers on semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA). Also, the conten…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have been shown to improve glucose and lipid homeostasis, promote weight loss, and reduce cardiovascular risk factors. They are a promising therapeutic option for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease…
Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is associated with the excessive collection of lipids in hepatocytes. Over 75% of diabetes patients typically have MASLD, and, at the same time, the presence of MASLD increases the risk…
