Obesity is a growing global health challenge, necessitating effective treatment options beyond lifestyle interventions. This narrative review explores established and emerging pharmacotherapies for weight management, including parenteral agents like…
OBJECTIVE: To compare rates of and risk factors for hospitalizations among Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE) participants taking metformin and randomly assigned to insulin glargine U-100, glimepiride…
Obesity is a prevalent chronic disease associated with many comorbidities and increased mortality rates. Primary care providers are critical in addressing obesity through an evidence-based weight loss protocol.This Doctor of Nurse Practice project ai…
OBJECTIVES: In this study, the comparative bioavailability of semaglutide following the administration of oral (PO) and subcutaneous (SC) doses in healthy subjects was evaluated. The pharmacokinetics of semaglutide of these formulations at lower dose…
Peripheral surgery evokes neuroimmune activation in the central nervous system and modulates immune cell polarization in the ischemic brain. However, the phenotypic change of microglia and myeloid cells within post-surgical ischemic brain tissue rema…
: Diabetes frequently leads to cognitive impairment, encompassing issues with memory and executive function, as well as depression and anxiety. This study examines the impact of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) alongside glucagon-like peptide-…
: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. While their metabolic benefits are well-established, their potential effects on vestibular function remain unexplored. This study…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that shows significant efficacy in treating obesity. However, its associated side effects, including poor patient compliance and gastrointestinal inflammation, are concerni…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-IRAs) have become pivotal in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) [...].
In addition to the classically accepted pathophysiological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), increasing attention is paid to the role of the insulin-resistant state of the central nervous system. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism…
BACKGROUND: Hypothalamic obesity, weight gain dominantly due to hypothalamic dysfunction, is a challenge for patients with craniopharyngioma surgery. Semaglutide, a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown promise in obesity management. However,…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a typical reproductive endocrine system disease with high incidence rate among childbearing age women. Several clinical data show that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) might have the…
BACKGROUND: Limited access to specialist weight management services restricts the implementation of novel pharmacotherapies for obesity such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in the UK National Health Service (NHS). Second Natur…
INTRODUCTION: The oral formulation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide has dosing requirements that could impact adherence. We compared perceptions of physicians and individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Japan, before and…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), has demonstrated cardiovascular and glycemic benefits. However, its influence on surgical outcomes, particularly spinal fusi…
The "Fantastic Four," a term coined in 2021 to refer to the four key drug pillars in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (beta-blockers, renin-angiotensin system and neprilysin inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagoni…
AIMS: To assess if there is a difference in the oncogenic risk between GLP-1 RA and comparators in randomized controlled trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing GLP-1RA to any comparators for diabetes…
Mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety, are common comorbidities in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), contributing to increased healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and the financial burden of the disease. Glucago…
