A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
The European Society of Cardiology annual congress is the premier global platform for dissemination and unraveling major scientific advances in the field of cardiology. Each year a myriad number of scientific ideas are exchanged at this meeting and m…
GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) lower glucose and reduce cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes, with noted renal benefits. Few studies directly compare GLP-1 RAs. This study aims to compare the effects of semaglutide and dulaglutide on renal f…
BACKGROUNDDespite growing preclinical evidence that glucagon-like peptide1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) could be repurposed to treat alcohol use disorder (AUD), clinical evidence is scarce. Additionally, the potential impact of dipeptidyl peptidase-4…
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…
OBJECTIVES: This review assessed the selected information on semaglutide's activity, its potential for the treatment of various diseases, and its pharmacokinetics. It is intended as a guide for future research. Chromatographic procedures used for the…
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus therapy has evolved over the years to now include a new class of therapeutics, semaglutide. This article reviews the mechanism of action and formulation of semaglutide therapy, potential benefits, contraindications, adverse e…
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common yet frequently underrecognized microvascular complication of diabetes, affecting up to three out of four individuals. Key contributing factors include advancing age, long-standing disease duration, and suboptimal…
Conjugating two fatty acids (2FAs) to peptide drugs can improve pharmacokinetics and therapeutic effects. However, optimizing FA spacing, chain combination, and attachment site to simultaneously enhance albumin binding and drug efficacy remains chall…
OBJECTIVES: To map and categorize evidence related to cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk in persons with spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) and to assess the proportion of studies reporting on sociodemographic variables. DATA SOURCES: A scoping revie…
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases, overweight, type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease increase the risk of cardiovascular events.Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues are recommended by the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of…
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) poses a growing public health challenge, characterized by limited therapeutic options and a high burden of comorbid obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 recep…
Anorexia nervosa is characterised by the fear of gaining weight and a disrupted relationship with food but atypical if the body mass index is within normal limits. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, indicated in patients with…
AIMS: Nearly 42% of adults in the United States have obesity, a significant risk factor for many cardiometabolic diseases and cancers. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are promising interventions for weight loss, but their efficac…
