BACKGROUND: Recently, a large clinical trial found that treatment with semaglutide significantly reduced the risk of renal damage and cardiovascular death in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). To validate these findings and ensure the suitability o…
INTRODUCTION: Diabetes management involves using various oral hypoglycemic agents, including new glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT (Ope…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide and semaglutide are highly effective medications for obesity management. The efficacy and safety of tirzepatide as compared with semaglutide in adults with obesity but without type 2 diabetes is unknown. METHODS: In this phase…
Semaglutide is a lipopeptide with important applications in the treatment of diabetes, obesity, and other conditions. This class of drug (glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists and other lipidated peptides) may be susceptible to aggregation due to the tend…
We performed a re-analysis of the gastrointestinal risks of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) in obese US adult patients without diabetes using the TriNetX database (GLP-1 RA n = 8792; Bupropion-naltrexone n = 8792) after accountin…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of semaglutide (Ozempic) on glycemic control and body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes in a primary care setting. Additionally, the rate of discontinuation due to adverse effects was assessed.…
BACKGROUND: Obesity, commonly approximated by body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m, is causally associated with at least 13 cancer types (obesity-related cancers) but it is unclear whether weight loss interventions among obese individuals result in risk r…
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) represent a heterogeneous group of malignancies that consist of two major subtypes: neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) have demonstrat…
Clinical data as well as animal and cell studies indicate that certain antidiabetic drugs, including glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), exert therapeutic effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by modulating amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) meta…
AIMS: GLP-1 and GIP-GLP-1 agonists have emerged as potent weight-loss medications. These incretin mimetics often have low patient adherence, and as with any medication, clinically meaningful efficacy requires adequate adherence. But what constitutes…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used for the management of people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or obesity. Numerous concordant animal and human studies suggest that GLP-1RAs could reduce the ri…
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is primarily managed through diet and lifestyle modifications. However, these behavioural interventions alone may not achieve disease regression or remission, and maintainin…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly prevalent among individuals with obesity, primarily due to metabolic dysfunction and structural cardiac remodeling. This review explores the emerging therapeuti…
Calls to poison centers involving exposure to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) have increased. Data from a statewide poison control system from 2017 to 2023 was analyzed to assess changes in GLP-1 RA exposure frequencies and repor…
