The increased popularity and ubiquitous use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for the treatment of diabetes, heart failure, and obesity has led to significant concern for increased risk for perioperative aspiration, given their…
: GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are used in the management of type II diabetes mellitus or obesity, although its role in patients with type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been debated. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of GL…
BACKGROUND: Nicotine use and nicotine use disorder (NUD) are the leading causes of preventable death in the United States. Persons with mental disorders (e.g., bipolar disorder) are differentially susceptible to nicotine use. Glucagon-like peptide-1…
The objective of this work was to develop a long-acting form of the lipidated peptide semaglutide that can be administered to humans once-monthly. Semaglutide was attached to hydrogel microspheres by a cleavable linker with an expected in vivo releas…
BACKGROUND: In recent years, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists have garnered increasing attention for their potential cardiovascular benefits beyond glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Understanding the research landscape surrounding G…
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, is an antidiabetic that has recently shown promising immunomodulatory and antitumor effects. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting women worldwide. The aim of this study was…
AIM: Data on the efficacy of oral semaglutide (OS) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes are still lacking. This study evaluates the effectiveness of OS in a real world setting with a large ≥75 year old population. METHODS: This study includes all…
A growing number of studies show that the diabetes drug Semaglutide is neuroprotective in Alzheimer's disease (AD) animal models, but its mode of action is not fully understood. In order to explore the mechanism of Semaglutide, 7-month-old APP/PS1/ta…
With an aging population, the investigation of therapies that promote healthy aging becomes increasingly urgent. Here we discuss how Semaglutide can be a potential therapy to contribute to this goal by targeting key hallmarks of aging, such as inflam…
OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to quantify the efficacy of subcutaneous once-weekly semaglutide in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) over time. METHODS: Based on a literature search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases,…
Patients with diabetes commonly experience an aberrant production of free radicals and weakened antioxidative defenses, making them highly susceptible to oxidative stress development. This, in turn, can induce and promote diabetic complications. Ther…
INTRODUCTION: Childhood-onset obesity poses significant health risks, including early-onset type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and reduced quality of life. Hospital-based non-pharmacological obesity care can reduce childhood obesity, but 25% of…
Obesity is an exacerbated public health challenge, increasing the risk of several diseases and mortality while deteriorating the quality of life. There is significant dedication to exploring obesity therapies using glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) ago…
Obesity is a significant barrier to renal transplantation due to associated surgical risks and postoperative complications. This case series presents five cases of obese patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who successfully achieved substanti…
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) represents a major public health burden in the United States, with racial disparities in medication use potentially exacerbating inequities in health outcomes. This study examined racial/ethnic differences in the pre…
OBJECTIVE: Many psychotropic drugs are highly associated with related weight gain. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are established anti-obesity and glucose-lowering agents. Preliminary evidence also indicates they are fit for pur…
BACKGROUND: Diabetes poses a serious global challenge, given its increasing prevalence, detrimental effects on public health, and substantial economic burden. Since 1950s, tens of drugs have been approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Admin…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have emerged as game-changers across the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) spectrum: overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and associated chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiov…
Digital weight-loss services (DWLSs) that supplement continuous lifestyle coaching with semaglutide therapy have shown promise in delivering continuous and effective obesity care. However, the extent to which lifestyle coaching design influences pati…
