AIMS: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with tachycardia-induced cellular electrophysiology alterations which promote AF chronification and treatment resistance. Development of novel antiarrhythmic therapies is hampered by the absence of scalabl…
AIM: To investigate the role of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) agonists alone or combined with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists to regulate palatable food intake and the role of specific macronutrients…
AIM: To evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects of tirzepatide, a novel dual glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist, compared with dulaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND ME…
OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a growing global concern compounded by limited availability of effective treatment options. The SURMOUNT development program aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention compare…
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) exhibit incretin activity, meaning that they potentiate glucose-dependent insulin secretion. The emergence of GIP receptor (GIPR)-GLP1 receptor (GLP1R) co-agonists…
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a chronic disease that can lead to many complications, and controlling glucose balance is essential. Incretin hormones are produced in the gut and are essential to maintaining glucose homeostasis. Their effects range from incr…
AIM: To assess the safety and efficacy of tirzepatide in people of East Asian descent based on age and body mass index (BMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data of participants enrolled in East Asian countries in the SURPASS-1, -3, -4, -5, J-mono and J-comb…
Gastrointestinal hormones play an important role in the endocrine communication between the intestine, the pancreas, the liver and the brain. Glucagon-like peptide‑1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are established therapeutic agents in the treatment of t…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are incretins that stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells in response to food ingestion. Modified GLP-1 and GIP peptides are potent agonists for their…
Hypertension poses a significant burden in the general population, being responsible for increasing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, leading to adverse outcomes. Moreover, the association of hypertension with dyslipidaemia, obesity, and insuli…
The worldwide prevalence of obesity has been increasing progressively over the past few decades and is predicted to continue to rise in coming years. Unfortunately, this epidemic is also affecting increasing rates of children and adolescents, posing…
OBJECTIVE: To assess comparative efficacy, safety and tolerability of injectable incretin-based glucose-lowering medications (IBGLMs) versus basal insulin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed an update…
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common form of diabetes and is a chronic and progressive illness. Millions of Americans have T2DM and many patients do not achieve the recommended blood glucose levels. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) based…
Among the two incretins that strongly stimulate insulin secretion and are also involved in its physiological regulation in type 2 diabetes, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) has been the focus of interest for a long time, due to its retained - although…
