Recent media reports commented about a possible issue of the misuse of antidiabetics related to molecules promoted as a weight-loss treatment in non-obese people. We evaluated here available pharmacovigilance misuse/abuse signals related to, a glucag…
We investigated the effect of additional treatment with newer antidiabetic drugs on endothelium function and arterial stiffness in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) without cardiovascular diseases. A total of 89 participants, all users of…
OBJECTIVE: Weight loss interventions to treat obesity include sleeve gastrectomy (SG), lifestyle intervention (LI), endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and semaglutide. We aimed to identify which treatments are cost-effective and identify requiremen…
AIMS: In the SUSTAIN 6 cardiovascular outcomes trial, once-weekly semaglutide was associated with a statistically significant reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events compared with placebo. To date, no studies have assessed how accurately exi…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide, a novel glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, is approved for glycaemic control for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The SURPASS-1 to -5 clinical trials assessed the ef…
AIM: To investigate the potential mechanism of once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: We searched both Chinese and…
BACKGROUND: French national health care insurance system database has suggested 1-3 years use of glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) (exenatide, liraglutide and dulaglutide) may be linked with increased occurrence of thyroid cancer. Si…
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is an inherited form of diabetes resulting from a mutation in a single gene. ABCC8-MODY is caused by mutations in the ABCC8 gene, which encodes sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1), a regulatory component of the…
Novel dual agonists for the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and Yreceptor hold the potential for enhanced efficacy over GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists in treating obesity and diabetes. In this study, we aimed to improve the stability and increase t…
Obesity is a growing global health concern, leading to various health issues, including diabetes. Semaglutide-based medications, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus, have emerged as potential treatments. These medications, belonging to the glucagon…
BACKGROUND: Obesity in both adults and children is a primary health concern that can lead to many complications at a young age, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and other diseases. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1) are d…
SUMMARY: Psoriasis is often associated with abdominal obesity and type-2 diabetes (T2D). The inflammatory process in psoriasis can target adipose tissue depots, especially those surrounding the heart and coronary arteries, exposing to an increased ri…
Diabetes is the most frequent cause of kidney disease that progresses to end-stage renal disease worldwide, and diabetic kidney disease is significantly related to unfavorable cardiovascular outcomes. Since the 1990s, specific therapies have emerged…
BACKGROUND: Excessive body fat may be a major cause of insulin resistance and diabetes. But body weight reduction by energy restriction may simultaneously reduce both fat and muscle. Skeletal muscle is an important organ for glucose metabolism regula…
Obesity is a heterogeneous disease that affects almost one-third of the global population. A clear association has been established between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, CVD risk is known to be related more to the local distribut…
AIM: To develop and investigate an imbalanced dual gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIPR)/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1 R) agonist with Fc fusion protein structure. METHODS: We designed and constructed an Fc fusion protein that is a…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used to address multiple aspects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management, including glycaemic control, weight loss, and cardiovascular risk reduction. Semaglutide, a well-establis…
OBJECTIVE: Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2017 for diabetes and in 2021 for weight loss, semaglutide has seen widespread use among individuals who aim to lose weight. The aim of this study was to evaluate weight loss and the in…
