A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND: Since obesity and its associated metabolic dysregulation are recognized risk factors for cognitive decline, this study investigated whether semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist proven to have cardiometabolic benefits, c…
INTRODUCTION: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) are rising at an alarming rate among children and adolescents. This population often exhibits suboptimal glycemic control and diabetes-related complications. Glucagon-like peptide-1 recep…
This review evaluates the available pharmacokinetic data on the plasma-to-breastmilk transfer of first- and second-line T2DM drugs against available clinical guideline recommendations. A list of drug therapies for treating T2DM was generated from nat…
INTRODUCTION: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular (CV) disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) drive excess morbidity and mortality. Beyond glucose-lowering, incretin-based therapies may provide organ protection across t…
AIMS: Obesity adversely affects atrial fibrillation (AF) outcomes and is associated with higher recurrence after catheter ablation. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) promote weight loss and improve metabolic inflammation, but their…
AIMS: To characterize the cardiometabolic profiles of oral and subcutaneous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor mono-agonists in adults with overweight or obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D), using network meta-analysis (NMA). MATERIA…
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…
BACKGROUND: To comprehensively evaluate the relative efficacy and safety of lifestyle interventions, pharmacological therapies (orlistat, liraglutide, and semaglutide), and bariatric surgeries [Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG)…
AIMS: Acquired hypothalamic obesity (aHO) following craniopharyngioma (CP) is a challenging condition with limited therapeutic options. This study aimed to assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of GLP-1 RAs in this population. MATERIALS AND…
Obesity medications are recommended in England with legislation necessitating their availability. However, given the number of people who meet clinically approved eligibility criteria, funding these medications and associated support services may lim…
UNLABELLED: The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) for weight loss is increasing; implications in breast cancer survivors remain unclear. This retrospective cohort study evaluated treatment patterns, weight loss, and outcomes…
INTRODUCTION: We hypothesised that an exposure-response weight predictor algorithm developed from randomised controlled trial data can predict long-term individual body weight changes in both men and women in response to subcutaneous semaglutide trea…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) have increased in prevalence alongside the global epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes and now repre…
BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery has long been established as an effective treatment option for obesity and diabetes [Kalainov et al. in J Am Acad Orthop Surg [32(10):427-438, 2025] and Ogden et al. in JAMA 311(8):806-806, 2025. 10.1001/jama.2014.732].…
Metabolic hepatic steatosis (MetHS) is a clinically heterogeneous, multisystemic, dynamic, and complex disease, whose progression is one of the main causes of cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma. This clinical practice guideline aims to respond to its main…
BACKGROUND: Abdominoplasty in patients with obesity carries a heightened risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to a proinflammatory and hypercoagulable baseline. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly used for weigh…
OBJECTIVES: To assess longterm weight and comorbidity outcomes following bariatric surgery at a publicly funded obesity service. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Cohort of 203 individuals who underwent bariatric surgery b…
