A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1a) agonists are one of the most recent discoveries to improve blood glucose control and provide satiety. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first of these therapeutics for the manage…
Over the last three years, a combination of wildly growing demand and near-constant shortages have provided both compounding pharmacies and outsourcing facilities with strong financial incentives to move aggressively into the production and sale of s…
BACKGROUND: The cardiovascular safety of oral semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, has been established in persons with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk. An assessment of the cardiovascular efficacy of oral semaglutide…
AIM: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effect of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RAs), on new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in randomized clinical trials (RCTs). METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-six RCTs involving 48,…
UNLABELLED: The recent identification of liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) as an endogenous antagonist and inverse agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) has revived interest in targeting the ghrelin-GHSR pathway for…
INTRODUCTION: The progression of diabetes status in post-stroke patients remains under-investigated, particularly regarding new treatments for type II diabetes mellitus (DM II), like glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RA) and sodium-glu…
BACKGROUND: Visual blurring is one of the most common symptoms in ophthalmology, and one of the important causes of secondary visual blurring is drug-related. This study assesses the risk of drug-related visual blurring using a large real-world datab…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the weight loss efficacy of semaglutide initiated 6 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHODS: This retrospective study included patients undergoing primary LSG. Patients receiving semaglutide…
Social media can be a platform to spread misinformation and reinforce potentially harmful norms in the interest of commercial actors. There are norms related to obesity that commercial actors promote such as "obesity is an individual problem" and the…
INTRODUCTION: The management of type 2 diabetes not only requires effective medications to regulate blood glucose levels, but also needs to consider the economic implications. Liraglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide, three widely-used glucagon-like…
BACKGROUND: The rising obesity rates in the USA have led to a surge in various weight loss treatments. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues have shown promise in reducing weight but primarily studied in Caucasian populations. Sleeve gastrectomy…
INTRODUCTION: To evaluate real-world hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and weight change in adults initiating treatment with tirzepatide (dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist [GLP-1 RA]) or injectable se…
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), has demonstrated substantial efficacy in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It provides glycemic control, promotes weight loss, and offers cardiovascular protection. Evidence a…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate semaglutide use among people with HIV (PWH) with medical indications by race and ethnicity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We identified PWH in the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) cohort a…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Oral semaglutide and empagliflozin are commonly used for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but head-to-head comparisons in real-world settings are limited. We aimed to emulate the PIONEER-2 trial using electronic health re…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists(GLP-1RAs) (Liraglutide, Semaglutide, Exenatide, Dulaglutide, Lixisenatide, and Tirzepatide) in obese patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHOD: A s…
Neuronal injury is a common complication in patients with diabetes. These injuries include a wide range of neurobehavioral complications that significantly reduce the neuronal network efficiency and quality of life in affected individuals. Currently,…
BACKGROUND: Nausea is one of the most reported side effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1a). Current recommendations fall short in taming the symptoms, include antiemetic medication, behavior changes, GLP-1a dose adjustment, and often cause a disr…
