BACKGROUND: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a major global health burden with high relapse rates and limited treatment uptake. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), developed for type 2 diabetes and obesity, may also reduce alcohol con…
Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating cerebrovascular event with high morbidity and mortality rates, and early brain injury following SAH (EBI-SAH) within 72 h leads to a poor prognosis. Despite advances in our understanding of th…
AIM: The purpose of this work was to optimize the sensitivity and the drug tolerance of two cell-based assays for the detection of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) to semaglutide (a GLP-1 analogue) and to endogenous GLP-1. METHODOLOGY: The two assays w…
OBJECTIVE: Randomized clinical trials show that subcutaneous semaglutide is modestly superior to dulaglutide in reducing HbA1c and body weight, but no trial has compared their effectiveness on hard cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to examine…
To investigate the effect of semaglutide on the metabolomics of obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated by metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).A prospective non-randomized controlled study was conducted. Obese pat…
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), defined by clinical heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%, represents more than half of heart failure cases in Asia and carries a one-year composite hospitalization and mor…
Peptide therapeutics are rapidly emerging as a new drug modality, bridging the gap between small molecules and biologics to target diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders. Despite their advantages, challenges like metabolic in…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on alcohol-related outcomes in adults with or without alcohol use disorder (AUD). METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines se…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the real-world effectiveness of once-weekly semaglutide for weight reduction and change in cardiometabolic risk factors at 24 months in patients with obesity or overweight. METHODS: This real-world retrospective, cohort study u…
Initially developed for type 2 diabetes and obesity, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are now emerging as promising candidates for modifying the course of neurodegenerative diseases. This potential stems from the presence of GLP-1…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are essential for treating type 2 diabetes and promoting weight loss. Despite their therapeutic benefits, concerns have arisen regarding their potential association with pancreatic and thyroid cancers…
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a significant global health challenge. While two drugs (semaglutide, resmetirom) have recently been approved for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), their clinical utility is constrained by gastroi…
Obesity has been described by the WHO as the largest health threat facing mankind. More than 55% of pregnancies in the United Kingdom occur in women who are overweight or living with obesity. Obesity in pregnancy increases the risk of developing gest…
Obesity and diabetes are common among patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and are associated with adverse outcomes. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) were originally developed for glycaemic control but have recently b…
BACKGROUND: In the phase 3 ESSENCE clinical trial, semaglutide demonstrated improved histological outcomes for patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with moderate or advanced fibrosis. There is limited real-world evide…
BACKGROUND: Antipsychotic-induced weight gain is a common side effect of antipsychotic drug treatment, particularly with second-generation medications such as clozapine and olanzapine. Weight gain in patients undergoing antipsychotic therapies is a s…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonist) have revolutionized the treatment of obesity. However, regulatory agencies have reported an association with suicidality. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first meta-analy…
