BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: Using specific keywords, we comprehensively go through the potential articles on Europe PMC, Scopus, PubMed, and…
Incretin-based therapies with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are already established in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The development of novel dual- or triple-receptor agonists that bind to the receptors not only for GL…
It is a well-accepted fact that obesity and diabetes increase the risk of incidence of different cancers and their progression, leading to a decrease in the quality of life among affected cancer patients. In addition to decreasing the risk of cancers…
Tirzepatide is a new molecule capable of controlling glucose blood levels by combining the dual agonism of Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. GIP and GLP1 are incretin hormones: they are…
The ever-increasing burden of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and related comorbidities is demanding a better pathophysiological understanding as well as new treatment options. Incretin based therapies are already available while the recent…
The obesity pandemic is accompanied by increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) and related conditions: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular (…
A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to combine the data available from clinical trials and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of tirzepatide in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).We systematically searched the MEDLINE, Embase, C…
This study focused on investigating diketopiperazine (DKP) and the formation of associated double-amino-acid deletion impurities during linear solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) of tirzepatide (TZP). We identified that the DKP formation primarily o…
Recent studies show that incretin hormone analogues effectively control blood glucose while producing major weight losses and reducing the risk of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and kidney function impairment. Furthermore, the ris…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the available literature evaluating the efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) with multiple daily insulin injections (MDII). DATA SOURCES: A literature search of MEDLINE and Embase was perfo…
Achieving efficacious systemic levels of orally administered peptides is incredibly challenging due to the significant barriers to their bioavailability-their stability in the gastrointestinal tract and challenge of transepithelial transit, and varia…
CONTEXT: The burden of cirrhosis from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is reaching epidemic proportions in the United States. This calls for greater awareness among endocrinologists, who often see but may miss the diagnosis in adults with obe…
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The weight loss following Semaglutide treatment, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, might be responsible for some effects observed on the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease of obese mice. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Two groups of C57BL/6 male mice…
BACKGROUND: In the incretin system, Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that inhibits the release of glucagon and regulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion. In type 2 diabetes, correcting the impaired incretin system using GLP-1 agonist…
AIM: We evaluated gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs) with once-weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg in adults with overweight or obesity and their contribution to weight loss (WL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: AE analyses pooled data from the Semaglutide Trea…
