BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) is a common extrapulmonary complication of CF, with increasing prevalence. As individuals with CF live longer, obesity rates are increasing, leading to an emerging phenotype called CF…

Recent advancements in pharmacologic treatment of obesity and metabolic disease with nutrient-stimulated hormones (NuSH), particularly Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, have been revolutionary, showing weight reduction results comparable to some surgical…

Peptide drugs have revolutionized modern therapeutics, offering novel treatment avenues for various diseases. Nevertheless, low design efficacy, time consumption, and high cost still hinder peptide drug design and discovery. Here, an efficient approa…

BACKGROUND: Whether patients with chronic plantar heel pain (PHP) can benefit from glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) remained unclear. METHODS: This study included a prospective observational cohort and a pilot interventional compo…

IMPORTANCE: Semaglutide and tirzepatide, the new generation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, were recently reported to be associated with increased risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neu…

Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist that has been proposed as a gerotherapeutic, yet no data exist on its effects on epigenetic aging. We therefore conducted a post-hoc epigenetic analysis of a 32-week, double-blind, placebo-controlle…

PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy and safety of semaglutide and liraglutide over one year in obese Polish patients with type 2 diabetes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective, observational cohort study conducted in Poland in 2024, 460 patients ag…

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are both modern-day pandemics, significantly impacting worldwide healthcare. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) semaglutide is a novel treatment for both T2DM and obesity; however, it ca…

PURPOSE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) approved for type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity may affect alcohol drinking behavior. The present prospective observational study investigated hazardous alcohol drinking in patient…

INTRODUCTION: The impact of obesity on pregnancy outcomes and offspring health has received increasing attention. Semaglutide have been shown to have significant effects on weight management. This study aims to evaluate whether Pre-pregnancy Semaglut…

Recent cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have reshaped the therapeutic landscape of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), revealing that certain glucose-lowering agents, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), offer substantial…

INTRODCUTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are among the most effective treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). GLP-1 RAs stimulate pancreatic receptors, improving glycemia by boosting insulin secretion while decreasi…

BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous semaglutide has shown kidney-protective effects in people with type 2 diabetes (PWT2D), but data on oral semaglutide remain limited. This multicentre real-world study evaluates the clinical effectiveness of oral semaglutide o…

PURPOSE: To report a case of non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in an otherwise healthy patient treated with Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) liraglutide and semaglutide. OBSERVATIONS: A 47-year-old Caucasian femal…

Anti-obesity medications (AOMs) have become one of the most prescribed drugs in human medicine. While AOMs are known to impact adult neurogenesis in the hypothalamus, their effects on the functional maturation of hypothalamic neurons remain unexplore…
