Bariatric surgery, while effective for severe obesity, is often challenged by postoperative weight regain (WR), affecting 20-30% of patients. This review analyzes the mechanisms, risk factors, and management strategies for WR, emphasizing surgical co…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) administration has been associated with neuroprotective effects in neurodegenerative disorders. We conducted a comprehensive synthesis of known effe…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide) potently induce weight loss, thereby reducing obesity-related complications. However, weight regain occurs when treatment is discontinued. An increase in skeletal muscle oxidati…
AIMS: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, alongside dual receptor agonists targeting glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, represent transformative therapies for obesity management. Despite their increasing use,…
This article is intended as a brief review on the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Rybelsus®, Wegovy®), an antidiabetic medication that has gained significant popularity in the United States for its role in long-term wei…
PURPOSE: To report historical patterns of pharmaceutical expenditures, to identify factors that may influence future spending, and to predict growth in drug spending in 2025 in the United States, with a focus on the nonfederal hospital and clinic sec…
The effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with obesity with or without diabetes remains unclear. The aim was to compare the effect of different drug-dose combinations of GLP-1RAs o…
PURPOSE: Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) has surged in popularity for its weight loss effects. Its widespread media coverage may have an outsized impact on adolescents and young adults due to their higher engagement in social media and their vulnerabil…
OBJECTIVE: Weight gain with glucose-lowering medications may interfere with effective type 2 diabetes (T2D) management. We evaluated weight change and the effect of weight gain on outcomes over 5 years on four diabetes medications. RESEARCH DESIGN AN…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) and glucagon-like peptide-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist (GLP-1/GIP RA) use has become increasingly popular, leading to a rise in exposure calls to poiso…
Excessive alcohol use is a leading cause of preventable death in the USA, and the number of annual deaths from alcohol more than doubles the number from drug overdose. As newer glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists like semaglutide have i…
BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend combination therapy with glucagonlike peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) for cardiorenal risk reduction in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, there…
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) were initially developed for type 2 diabetes but have gained widespread use for weight management, including among non-diabetic individuals. This study aimed to estimate the pre…
Disturbances in insulin signaling and glucose metabolism within the brain are associated with the onset of neuronal degeneration and a reduction in synaptic activity. Research increasingly supports the therapeutic potential of GLP-1R agonists for dia…
BACKGROUND: The introduction of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) has provided new avenues for managing type 2 diabetes (T2D), aiming to achieve optimal glycaemic control while minimising treatment burden. We conducted a multicentr…
