A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
OBJECTIVES: To explore the association of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on heart rate (HR) in overweight or obese patients without diabetes. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Li…
to assess the safety profile of Gastrointestinal (GIT), renal, and pancreatic effects of GLP-1 and dual receptor agonists.Disproportionality analyses were performed on FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data following each drug's approval for…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs)-along with the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1RA tirzepatide-are widely acknowledged for their efficacy in managing both type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, with exp…
Obesity and diabetes are associated with worse prognosis for numerous malignancies. Both insulin resistance and altered levels of adipokines may explain the link between obesity and tumor progression. In preclinical models, METAP2 inhibitors induce w…
OBJECTIVES: Obesity management has limited oral pharmacotherapies. Bitter taste receptor (TAS2R) agonists may modulate hunger, satiety, and metabolism via gut-brain signaling. We evaluated denatonium acetate (DA), a gut-restricted TAS2R agonist, acro…
Telehealth has become a mainstream healthcare delivery methods driven by advances in health technology, evolving patient preferences, and the need for more accessible and affordable care. While traditional pharmacy models remain effective, they face…
Over the recent years, there has been a notable surge in consumer demand for rapid and effective weight-loss pharmaceuticals that are also capable of managing type 2 diabetes. Owing to their exceptional efficacy, GLP-1 receptor agonists, including Ti…
INTRODUCTION: Psoriasis and obesity often occur together, with up to 50% of patients with psoriasis being classified as obese. This increases systemic inflammation, cardiovascular risk, and disease severity while reducing the efficacy of biologic tre…
INTRODUCTION: Pharmacological therapies are recommended for individuals with obesity. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1), and tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and GLP-1 receptor agonist (GI…
BACKGROUND: This study examines gastrointestinal adverse events (GIAEs) associated with tirzepatide using bibliometric and pharmacovigilance analyses. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A bibliometric analysis of Web of Science data identified research tre…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease associated with substantial cardiometabolic risk and long-term morbidity. Although randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of incretin-based therapies, real-world comparative data…
Obesity is associated with increased risk of at least 13 adult cancer types and is the second most common cause of cancer (after tobacco) in many populations. Uncertainty about the extent to which intentional weight loss leads to reduced cancer risk…
Heart failure (HF) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. HF with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HF-pEF) accounts for up to 50% of all HF cases, being the most common in elderly patients. In addition, these subjects frequentl…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, is recently approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity in adults. Melanocortin-4-receptor (MC4R) deficiency is the most common monogenic cause of obesity and presents with h…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe real-world obesity medication (OM) prescribing and dispensing among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and examine factors associated with dispensing. METHODS: A retrospective cohort linked Nemours Children's…
