OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the effects of semaglutide on body weight, cardiometabolic risk factors, and glycemic status in individuals categorized by baseline BMI with or without additional obesity-related comorbidities, including prediabetes and…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety between and within glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) in overweight or obese adults with or without diabetes mellitus. METHODS: P…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is an epidemiological issue that negatively affects public health and has led to a high global burden on the healthcare system. Several approaches to control and overcome the obesity crisis have been established. However, Nobel di…
Diabetes mellitus is a complex disorder characterized by insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance, which results in a lifelong dependence on glucose-lowering drugs for almost all patients. During the fight with diabetes, researchers are…
Metabolic functions of GLP-1 and its analogues have been extensively investigated. In addition to acting as an incretin and reducing body weight, we and others have suggested the existence of GLP-1/fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) axis in which li…
We assessed the effect of semaglutide 2.4 and 1.7 mg versus placebo on weight-related quality of life (WRQOL) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the STEP 6 trial. Adults from East Asia (body mass index [BMI] ≥27.0 kg/mwith ≥2 weight-relate…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a global chronic disease in adults with beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposits and hyperphosphorylated tau protein as the pathologic characteristics. Although the exact etiology of AD is still not fully elucidated, aberrant metabolism…
AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have reported that the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) delays gastric emptying, and gastric emptying was assessed by theC breath test or paracetamol absorption technique. However, neither of them…
Both physicians and patients dream of an efficacious and safe pharmacological approach to treat obesity. Unfortunately, most anti-obesity drugs prescribed since the fifties were associated with an unfavourable risk profile that led to numerous withdr…
INTRODUCTION: Obesity is recognized as a major healthcare challenge. Following years of slow progress in discovery of safe, effective therapies for weight management, recent approval of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) mimetics, liraglut…
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complicated hormonal and metabolic disorder. The exact pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome is not clear thus far. Inflammation is involved in the progression of polycystic ovary syndrome. In addition, brown adipos…
BACKGROUND: Prescribing information instructs taking oral semaglutide (a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue) in the fasting state, followed by a post-dose fasting period of ≥ 30 min. This trial compared the recommended dosing schedule with alternative…
BACKGROUND: Patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related cirrhosis are at high risk of liver-related and all-cause morbidity and mortality. We investigated the efficacy and safety of the glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue semaglutide in p…
Ischemia and reperfusion injury (I/R) is a serious condition leading to organ failure, characterized by poor blood supply followed by rapid resuscitation of blood flow and reoxygenation. Renal failure caused by renal ischemia has high mortality and m…
