INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are recommended by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) as risk-based treatment for hyperglycemia, weight management, and cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction in people wit…
AIM: To investigate the effects of once-daily oral semaglutide 50 mg on energy intake, appetite, control of eating and gastric emptying. METHODS: A clinical pharmacology, double-blind study was conducted in 61 adults with obesity randomized to once-d…
Tirzepatide is the first ever once-weekly, injectable gastric inhibitory peptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 (GIP/GLP-1) dual agonist approved by the European Medicines Agency for type 2 diabetes. The efficacy and safety of tirzepatide have been evaluate…
Targeting brain insulin resistance (BIR) has become an attractive alternative to traditional therapeutic treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Incretin receptor agonists (IRAs), targeting either or both of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and g…
In this editorial, we comment on the article by Chenrecently published in 2024. We focus the debate on whether reducing the upper limit of normal of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) would effectively identify cases of fibrosis in metabolic-dysfunction…
PURPOSE: Patients with hypothalamic pathology often develop hypothalamic obesity, causing severe metabolic alterations resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Treatments for hypothalamic obesity have not proven very effective, although the gl…
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MALFD) is a highly prevalent and progressive disease, strongly related to obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. It comprises a spectrum of liver pathology from steatosis (fat accumulation i…
BACKGROUND: There are currently limited data regarding the effect of semaglutide 2·4 mg in individuals with obesity and prediabetes in clinical trials. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of semaglutide 2·4 mg for weight management and glycaem…
Diabetes mellitus and obesity are growing health concerns. New pharmacologic interventions have recently begun to play a more notable role in the treatment pathway of these separate but related conditions. In particular, glucagon-like peptide-1 recep…
Obesity is a common comorbidity among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), with the strongest pathophysiologic link of obesity being seen for HFpEF. Lifestyle me…
The availability of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) such as liraglutide and semaglutide, and a GLP-1 and glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide coagonist (tirzepatide) represents a paradigm shift in the management of bot…
Milk exosomes (mExos) have demonstrated significant promise as vehicles for the oral administration of protein and peptide drugs owing to their superior capacity to traverse epithelial barriers. Nevertheless, certain challenges persist due to their i…
