A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a risk factor for relapsing inflammatory bowel disease. GLP-1 and dual GLP-1/GIP agonists may offer superior weight loss; however, their effect on inflammatory bowel disease remains unknown. In this study, we assessed…
Nephronophthisis (NPH) is the leading genetic cause of end-stage renal disease in children and young adults, but no effective disease-modifying therapies are currently available. Here, we identify glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) signaling as a novel…
IMPORTANCE: Patients with schizophrenia have reduced life expectancy due to cardiovascular disease and obesity-related type 2 diabetes, exacerbated by second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) medication. Existing interventions have shown limited effect.…
AIMS: This article aims to summarize the role of compounded incretin mimetics in clinical practice and in the context of drug shortages. METHODS: The Endocrine and Metabolism Practice and Research Network, a focused group of the American College of C…
Post-bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia is typically mediated by hyperinsulinaemia, although the exact mechanisms are incompletely understood. Two cases of non-insulin mediated, ketotic hypoglycaemia following sleeve gastrectomy are presented. After fas…
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents the concurrent manifestation of multiple cardiometabolic risk factors, including visceral obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-cholesterol, cumulatively predisposing to accelerat…
We performed a re-analysis of the gastrointestinal risks of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) in obese US adult patients without diabetes using the TriNetX database (GLP-1 RA n = 8792; Bupropion-naltrexone n = 8792) after accountin…
BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) causes cognitive function disorder and has become the preeminent cause of dementia. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, semaglutide, have shown positive effects on promoting the cognitive function. Ho…
Adipose tissue is a central player in energy balance and glucose homeostasis, expanding in the face of caloric overload in order to store energy safely. If caloric overload continues unabated, however, adipose tissue becomes dysfunctional, leading to…
AIMS: Cardiorenal effects of semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high cardiovascular (CV) risk were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Post hoc analyses of pooled SUSTAIN 6 (NCT01720446) and PIONEER 6 (NCT02692716) data assessed tim…
BACKGROUND: This study seeks to compare the effectiveness of Semaglutide compared to Liraglutide, Dulaglutide, or Tirzepatide. Additionally, it aims to investigate the implications of transitioning from Dulaglutide or Liraglutide to Semaglutide. METH…
Concern over the side effects of anti-obesity medications, particularly if severe, has grown as their use has increased. Thus, the objective was to use trends in the reporting of suspected adverse events associated with anti-obesity medications that…
