AIM: To assess whether oral semaglutide provides better glycaemic control, compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) continuation, in people with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this multicentre, open-label, prospective, rand…
INTRODUCTION: Recently, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) received reports of suicidal thoughts and self-injury associated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) liraglutide and semaglutide. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Herein,…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a significant public health issue; new therapies and pharmaceutical approaches to weight management are needed. OBJECTIVE: This study assesses weight reduction efficacy in the novel swallow balloon procedure and semaglutide, bo…
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has a high prevalence, affecting more than 50% of patients with heart failure. HFpEF is associated with multiple comorbidities, and obesity is one of the most common. A distinct phenotype has bee…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have emerged as promising therapeutic options for addressing Type-2 diabetes, obesity, and related conditions. Among these, semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide etc., all notable GLP-1…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to assess the dose-response effects of the subcutaneous glucagon receptor/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor dual agonist survodutide (BI 456906) on HbAlevels and bodyweight reduction. METHODS: This Phase II,…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the blood pressure (BP) lowering ability of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), in individuals with type-2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing subcutaneous or o…
PURPOSE: Many individuals search for obesity treatment options on the Internet. We aimed to analyze the popularity of pharmacological and surgical obesity treatment methods searched by Google users. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We used Google Trends to iden…
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of semaglutide, administered either by weekly subcutaneous (SC) injection or orally, in real-life practice in Saudi Arabia in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METH…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Artificial intelligence-powered digital pathology offers the potential to quantify histological findings in a reproducible way. This analysis compares the evaluation of histological features of NASH between pathologists and a mac…
AIM: The present systematic review aimed to summarize the available evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the effect of tirzepatide on albuminuria levels and renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MA…
In this study, we aimed to discover novel GLP-1 analogues from natural sources. We investigated GLP-1 analogues from fish and amphibians, and bullfrog GLP-1 (bGLP-1) showed the highest potency. Starting with bGLP-1, we explored the structure-activity…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a novel diabetes management medication, is known for its efficacy in inducing weight loss. Despite this, its impact on outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate if THA…
OBJECTIVE: To review clinical trial data for incretin therapies that are approved or in late-stage development for overweight or obesity management, along with clinical implications of these therapies and future directions. METHODS: We searched for c…
BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a chronic liver disease, has no United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs for treatment. OBJECTIVES: To examine fundamental characteristics of drug clinical trials for NASH treat…
Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor and semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, have both demonstrated efficacy in glycemic control, reducing blood pressure, body weight, risk of renal and heart failure in type…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1As) are being used as approved or off-label treatments for weight loss. As such, there has been increasing concern about the potential for GLP-1As to impact eating disorder (ED) symptomatology. This art…
BACKGROUND/AIM: In the SUSTAIN-6 trial, semaglutide reduced the risk of worsening nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes. The objective of this retrospective study was to elucidate the effect and safety of oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) in patient…
