The approval of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) mimetics semaglutide and liraglutide for management of obesity, independent of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), has initiated a resurgence of interest in gut-hormone derived peptide therapies for the managem…
Introduction Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown the great efficacy of semaglutide in achieving significant weight loss in overweight and obese adults. However, real-world data about its effectiveness are still limited. This study e…
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is clinically used as a glucose-lowering and weight loss medication due to its effects on energy metabolism. In heart failure, energy production is impaired due to altered mitochondrial functio…
How do we assess the overall benefit and value of GLP1-RAs? Current clinical trials often focus narrowly on individual atherosclerotic cardiovascular endpoints like MACE, potentially missing broader GLP-1 RA benefits across multiple comorbidities. He…
BACKGROUND: The challenge of addressing obesity persists in healthcare, necessitating nuanced approaches and personalized strategies. This study aims to evaluate the effects of diverse therapeutic interventions on anthropometric and biochemical param…
BACKGROUND: The benefit of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) in weight reduction against potential harms remains unclear. This study aimed at evaluating the benefit-harm balance of initiating GLP-1 RAs versus placebo for weight…
To investigate changes in skeletal muscle mass and fat fraction in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing treatment with Semaglutide for 6months. This single-arm p…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is defined as steatotic liver disease (SLD) in the presence of one or more cardiometabolic risk factor(s) and the absence o…
AIMS: Package labeling for weight loss formulations of semaglutide and liraglutide include a warning for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The objective was to examine the association between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and inc…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is defined as steatotic liver disease (SLD) in the presence of one or more cardiometabolic risk factor(s) and the absence o…
There have been shortages of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) for type 2 diabetes (T2D) care. Analyses of data from 811 T2D adults at an Australian specialist diabetes clinic (1/2019-10/2023) who received ≥ 2 GLP-1 RA prescription…
BACKGROUND: Premature cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in people living with type 1 diabetes. Therapies are urgently needed to address cardiovascular risk in this group. Semaglutide, a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor…
IcoSema, a groundbreaking approach to diabetes management, combines insulin icodec and semaglutide to offer a transformative treatment option. Insulin icodec delivers consistent glucose-lowering effects with once-weekly dosing, while semaglutide, a G…
INTRODUCTION: In this phase 4, multicentre, prospective, non-interventional PIONEER REAL Netherlands study, we assessed clinical outcomes associated with once-daily oral semaglutide use in real-world clinical practice in adults living with type 2 dia…
OBJECTIVES: Co-agonists at the glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptors (GLP1R/GCGR) show promise as treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Although most co-agonists to date have been heavily GLP1R-bias…
Long-acting dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists (DACRAs) are novel candidates for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their beneficial effects on body weight, glucose control, and insulin action. However, how the metabolic be…
INTRODUCTION: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a highly heterogeneous syndrome, making it challenging to improve prognosis with pharmacotherapy. Obesity is one of the leading phenotypes of HFpEF, and its prevalence continues…
