A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
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…
In the last years, major progress has occurred in heart failure (HF) management. The 2023 ESC focused update of the 2021 HF guidelines introduced new key recommendations based on the results of the last years of science. First, two drugs, sodium-gluc…
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), as liraglutide and semaglutide, for weight management has significantly risen. Even if these medications are effective, some concerns remain about their sa…
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown an increase in obesity prevalence in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population. The popularity of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs) has increased in recent years due to their effective…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of GLP-1 receptor agonists, and metabolic and bariatric surgery in managing childhood obesity and associated conditions. It discusses current trends, challenges, and the potential of t…
OBJECTIVE: Obesity affects more than 40% of US adults, increasing risks for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), initially indicated for diabetes, show promise in weight loss but face cove…
OBJECTIVE: Semaglutide, a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has transformed the therapeutic landscape for type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, its effect on osteoclast activity and its potential to induce weight-related muscle loss raises…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In the FLOW trial, semaglutide reduced the risks of kidney and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes and death in participants with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). These prespecified analyses assessed the effects of sema…
BACKGROUND: In May 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated Project Orbis with the aim of providing patients faster access to promising cancer treatments by promoting coordination with international regulatory agencies, including Hea…
Although transplantation remains the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease, patients suffering from severe obesity are too often unlisted for this reason. Pre-transplant bariatric surgery is not free of risk and the use of 'Glucagon Like Pe…
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, has been approved for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. However, the real-world utilization of tirzepatide remains unexplored, particularly in patients with chronic kidney diseas…
Elucidating the neuronal circuits that govern appetite requires a detailed analysis of the microstructure of solid food consumption. A significant barrier in this field is that existing techniques for monitoring feeding are either prohibitively expen…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have potential beneficial effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: We conducted ph…
Recurrent acute pancreatitis can be influenced by a variety of factors, including metabolic and lifestyle triggers. This case report presents a 30-year-old Asian woman whose episodes of pancreatitis were complicated by hypertriglyceridemia, Type 2 di…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a widespread condition affecting women of reproductive age. A new class of medications called incretins (GLP1RAs) provides new opportunities for reducing obesity, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance in these p…
AIMS: This study aimed to estimate the strength of association between prescriptions of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and/or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and the incidence of opioid overdose and alcohol in…
Unimolecular multireceptor coagonists have emerged as a promising approach in the development of next-generation GLP-1 therapeutics. Herein, we describe the development of a long-acting and stapled GLP-1R/GIPR/GCGR triple agonist that exhibits balanc…
Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are commonly used to improve glycemic control and promote weight loss in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or obesity. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding GLP-1 agonist use in…
