A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
IntroductionDiabetes related foot ulcers (DFUs) are common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), affecting 15-25% of individuals living with diabetes and significantly contributing to healthcare costs ($9-13 billion annually in the U.S.).…
Individuals using semaglutide for weight loss constitute a new, sizeable patient group, yet limited qualitative research of this group exists. Therefore, we explored their perspectives, including motivation for treatment, attitudes towards the medica…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate semaglutide's multisystem therapeutic benefits across 12 health domains. Primary outcomes were major adverse cardiovascular events, resolution of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, and composite renal endpoints.…
BACKGROUND: The role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) in patients with weight regain after bariatric surgery remains unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of 12 months of GLP1-RA treatmen…
OBJECTIVES: The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists is increasingly common among orthopaedic patients, often prescribed for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, which are frequent comorbidities. Recent studies have explored the…
The prevalent assumption in computer-assisted synthesis planning has been to rely on the wealth of reaction data and on the consideration of this vast knowledge base at every stage of route planning. Yet even if equipped with all requisite knowledge…
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog, extends its half-life by reversibly binding to human serum albumin (HSA). To investigate binding interactions at various fatty acid sites, we performed 1.5 μs conventional molecular dynamics (cMD…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Obesity is a leading risk factor for fatty liver disease and weight loss has been shown to improve liver parameters. This study evaluates the efficacy of oral semaglutide for weight loss in individuals with overweight or ob…
The development of drugs targeting Nutrient Stimulated Hormone receptors has ushered in a dramatic change in our approach to weight management because of their ability to achieve weight losses of 10%, 20%, even 30% in significant numbers of patients.…
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were often coexistent conditions driven by insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. Effective management strategies that address both metabolic disorders w…
PURPOSE: This study used artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) to analyze patient reviews of semaglutide, with the goal of better understanding its real-world effectiveness and safety for weight management. METHODS: A ret…
INTRODUCTION: Real-world studies of anti-obesity medication (AOM) use have shown lower adherence and persistence than clinical trials; however, the impact of this reduced adherence in real-world settings remains largely unexplored. This study aimed t…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) agonists, such as semaglutide, are used for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and promoting weight loss. This study investigates genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying GLP1R activation using a novel in si…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide receptor (GIPR) agonistic analogs have yielded superior results in enhancing glycemic control and weight management compared to GLP-1R agonism alone. Intriguingly, GIP…
BACKGROUND: Tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, are characterized by progressive neurodegeneration manifesting as motor and cognitive impairments. This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of semaglutide, a clinically approved glucagon-l…
AIMS: To assess if there is a difference in the oncogenic risk between GLP-1 RA and comparators in randomized controlled trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing GLP-1RA to any comparators for diabetes…
The Impact of Weight on Daily Activities Questionnaire (IWDAQ) is a patient-reported outcome measure that uses a novel, adaptive design to assess the limitations in daily activities that are most important to individuals attempting to lose weight. Du…
Obesity is a growing global epidemic and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, previous weight loss interventions have largely failed to demonstrate consistent cardiovascular benefits. While lifestyle modifications remain the corne…
