A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND: -MODY constitutes 5%-10% of MODY cases; however, treatment options remain unclearly recommended, and long-term follow-up of patients with-MODY is lacking due to limited research. Here, we report a case carrying a newvariant of. The patien…
AIMS: Semaglutide has been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in non-diabetic patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease and overweight/obesity in the SELECT trial. Data on the applicability of these results to clinical practice are limited.…
INTRODUCTION: This systematic review and meta‑analysis is the first to comprehensively compare oral and subcutaneous semaglutide for type 2 diabetes (T2D) management. OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine whether oral semaglutide is noninferior to the…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. However, a correct and effective glycaemic control obtained by pharmacologic interventions, such as the use the novel glucose-low…
INTRODUCTION: Semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) is the first second-generation anti-obesity medication approved by the FDA for long-term obesity treatment. Given the effectiveness of semaglutide 2.4 mg compared to first-generation anti-obesity medications…
The weight of the matter in diabetes care challenges the traditional glucose-centric model of diabetes management and argues for a paradigm shift toward prioritizing weight-specifically fat reduction-as the central lever in achieving metabolic health…
BACKGROUND: The molecular mechanisms associated with semaglutide and empagliflozin in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) still require further studies to develop precise therapeutic strategies. AIM: To investigate the ef…
From immunoglobulin A nephropathy to primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, sparsentan expands its indications. Complement inhibitors offer new hope for patients with certain poor-prognosis glomerulonephritides. Semaglutide enjoys great success,…
Semaglutide, a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, is widely prescribed for weight loss in non-diabetic populations. Given the link between obesity and overactive bladder (OAB), we explored whether GLP-1 use would improve adverse urinar…
Semaglutide (SEMG) is one of the most widely used and trending medications to treat type II diabetes and obesity. This work aimed to develop a liquid chromatography with spectroflourimetric detection (HPLC-flourimetry) analysis of SEMG in both its ta…
CONTEXT: Whether continuation of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) or switching to oral semaglutide is more beneficial for β-cell function is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of switching from DPP-4is to oral semaglutide for β-cel…
UNLABELLED: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (Glp1r) agonists have transformed obesity treatment, but weight loss responses to these drugs vary widely. Elucidating behavioral and metabolic phenotypes throughout Glp1r agonist treatment could identify…
BACKGROUND: Whether patients with chronic plantar heel pain (PHP) can benefit from glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) remained unclear. METHODS: This study included a prospective observational cohort and a pilot interventional compo…
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of orlistat, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), and the combination of phentermine and topiramate in the treatment of childhood obesity.Relevant literature on anti-obesity drug treatments for chil…
AIMS: This study evaluated clinical outcomes of oral semaglutide treatment in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a real-world setting in Spain as part of the 13-country PIONEER REAL programme. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This multicentre, prospective, n…
GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have become a central component in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and are gaining prominence in the cardiovascular field. Semaglutide and other GLP1-RA molecules possess cardioprotective properties.…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a global public health challenge. Pharmacological interventions, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (eg, semaglutide) and dual GLP-1/gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor agonists (eg, tirzepatide), hav…
OBJECTIVE: Limited data exist on telemedicine prescribing of semaglutide and tirzepatide. The effects of a telehealth obesity management program combining the provision of semaglutide and tirzepatide with a behavioral program tailored for long-acting…
