A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND: French national health care insurance system database has suggested 1-3 years use of glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) (exenatide, liraglutide and dulaglutide) may be linked with increased occurrence of thyroid cancer. Si…
Weight-lowering pharmacotherapies provide an option for weight management; however, their effects on physical activity, function, and cardiorespiratory fitness are not fully understood. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized…
We conducted an analysis of internet search trends spanning from January 2022 to June 2023 in the ten most populous Muslim countries. Our study focused on key terms, including the prominent GLP1 analog "ozempic™", as well as "diet", "exercise", and "…
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…
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide 7 and 14 mg, the only orally delivered glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist tablet approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS: Search several datab…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide and liraglutide are glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients with T2DM treated with liraglutide at the M…
BACKGROUND: Fibrosis impacts long-term outcomes among patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Due to well-documented flaws associated with liver biopsy, there has been a recent emphasis on prioritizing noninvasive testing over liver b…
Several studies have found that antifibrosis treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can cause a variety of side effects. No network meta-analysis (NMA) analyzes the adverse events of antifibrotic drugs for NAFLD. This NMA aimed to sys…
AIM: To evaluate the effect of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 1.0 mg on the late digestive period of gastric emptying (GE) after ingestion of a standardized solid test meal by using technetium scintigraphy, the reference method for this purpose…
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…
AIMS: To determine the relationship between exposure and weight-loss trajectories for the glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue semaglutide for weight management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from one 52-week, phase 2, dose-ranging trial (once-daily subcut…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a class of antidiabetic agents that work by inducing insulin secretion and inhibiting release of glucagon in a glucose-dependent manner. They are especially promising given their long duration of…
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…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have emerged as a cornerstone treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of the present meta-analysis was to assess whether semaglutide exerts greater effects on glycemia…
The prevalence of obesity worldwide has increased in recent decades not only among adults, but also in children and adolescents. This phenomenon contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), also after the adjustment for conventi…
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…
PURPOSE: Despite the introduction of various pharmaceutical therapies for treating obesity, selecting the optimal treatment remains challenging for both patients and physicians. Therefore, in this network meta-analysis (NMA), we aim to simultaneously…
OBJECTIVE: Observational studies have indicated that cocoa flavanol supplementation may be a promising strategy for type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention. We aimed to directly evaluate its clinical efficacy in a large randomized clinical trial (RCT). RESE…
