PURPOSE: This study aimed to perform a network meta-analysis to objectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of 10 Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in combination with metformin that is approved for use worldwide in patients with…
Semaglutide, as a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), was approved for glucose control in type 2 diabetes mellitus in 2017 and approved for weight loss in 2021 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). No psychiatric adverse ef…
The glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) is a major drug target with several agonists being prescribed in individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity. The impact of genetic variability of GLP1R on receptor function and its association with metab…
BACKGROUND: Recently, many drugs have been approved for halting overweight and obesity-few types of research shifted to using Anti-obesity medications (AOM) solely for well-being and shape-keeping. OBJECTIVE: This narrative review's objective was to…
AIM: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 24 weeks of semaglutide treatment in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). METHODS: PubMed,…
BACKGROUND: Innovative GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA)-based treatment strategies-such as tirzepatide, GLP-1RA plus basal insulin fixed-ratio combinations [FRC], GLP-1RA plus sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors [SGLT-2i] combinations, and high…
Preclinical studies have identified glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, and the antismoking agents varenicline and bupropion as tentative agents for treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Combining different medications is a recent…
Increased liver de novo lipogenesis (DNL) is a hallmark of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). A key enzyme controlling DNL upregulated in NASH is ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). In mice, inhibition of ACLY reduces liver steatosis, ballooning, and fibrosi…
Disorders of brain glucose metabolism is known to affect brain activity in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Furthermore, recent evidence has shown an association between AD and type 2 diabetes. Numerous reports have foun…
The Semaglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (SUSTAIN-6) trial showed that semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), is effective in managing type 2 diabetes by stimulating insulin secretion a…
INTRODUCTION: Given the lack of real-world data on oral semaglutide use outside clinical trials, the purpose of this study was to describe dose, prescriber specialty, and change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) after 6 months of oral semaglutide treatment f…
OBJECTIVE: To systematically estimate and compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) approved in China and to quantify the relationship between the burden of diabetic comorbidities and…
Biopharmaceuticals, including proteins and peptides, have revolutionized the treatment of a wide range of diseases, from diabetes and cardiovascular disorders to virus infections and cancer. Despite their efficacy, most of these macromolecular drugs…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age. This condition is characterized by hyperandrogenism and either oligo- or anovulation. PCOS patients often present comorbidities such as obesity, insul…
In spite of the widespread use of lifestyle modifications programs, many patients with PCOS are obese and prevalence of obesity in PCOS remains high. In this study, we present the data on the use of semaglutide, an incretin mimetic drug, in obese PCO…
(1) Background: Oral semaglutide represents the first oral GLP-1 RA approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This real-world retrospective study aimed at evaluating its effectiveness and tolerability in the treatment of patients…
