A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND: The long-term glycaemic effects of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) remain unclear. We aimed to assess whether a 6-week subcutaneous infusion of GIP alone and in combination with the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide wo…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is effective in the treatment of fibrotic (F2-F3) metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and has recently received accelerated Food and Drug Administration…
Incretin therapy, utilizing glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dual receptor agonists, is a cornerstone of obesity management due to effects on appetite suppression, weight loss, and metabolic improvement. Liraglutide, semaglutide,…
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the safety of compounded glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) compared to non-compounded formulations using the U.S. FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A retrospe…
Background and AimEmerging evidence suggests that weight loss associated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may be in part attributable to changes in lean mass, which has potential clinical implications. This study evaluates t…
Recent revisions of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) definitions by two leading research groups—the Alzheimer’s Association and the International Working Group—reflect divergent approaches: the former promotes a strictly biological definition, while the latt…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, commonly used for glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes and for weight loss in obese patients, have been increasingly used due to their effectiveness in treating these conditions and in r…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pharmacist-led management of GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as compared to usual care by a physician. METHODS: This was a retrosp…
Metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a rapidly growing global health burden characterized by hepatic lipid accumulation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Phyllanthus niruri (PHYLN) is rich in polyphen…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of dulaglutide or semaglutide versus tirzepatide on cardiovascular outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Two…
AIM: This study used a network meta-analysis (NMA) as the primary approach to compare the efficacy and tolerability of GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual agonists in overweight or obese adults with and without Type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pu…
to assess the safety profile of Gastrointestinal (GIT), renal, and pancreatic effects of GLP-1 and dual receptor agonists.Disproportionality analyses were performed on FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data following each drug's approval for…
BACKGROUND: Menstrual health is a critical marker of physiological and psychological well-being in adolescents. While undernutrition and energy deficiency are well-known causes of menstrual disruption through hypothalamic hypogonadal suppression, the…
PURPOSE: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is associated with an increased burden of neuropsychiatric disorders, including cognitive decline, affective disorders, and substance use disorders. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), develo…
There is limited evidence on the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in the interplay between cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and metabolic dysfunction. This work analyzed the efficacy and safety of once-weekly semagluti…
