The urinary bladder is markedly enlarged in the type 1 diabetes mellitus model of streptozotocin-injected rats, which may contribute to the frequent diabetic uropathy. Much less data exists for models of type 2 diabetes. Diabetic polyuria has been pr…
Obesity limits the access to kidney transplantation and increases the risk of complications and mortality posttransplantation. Usual noninvasive measures, including lifestyle changes and dietary education, do not provide long-term and consistent body…
Tirzepatide is a unimolecular dual agonist of both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, which is developed as once-weekly injection for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Because of the comp…
INTRODUCTION: Once-weekly (OW) glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) semaglutide has been shown to have a more potent glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)-lowering effect than other oral hypoglycemic agents and existing GLP-1RAs in global randomi…
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have high rates of co-occurring type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, stroke, congestive heart failure, and accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. These conditions frequently require multipl…
Fixed drug eruptions (FDEs) are dermatological manifestations of drug reactions that often occur in the same location upon re-exposure to a drug. They usually appear as erythematous-violaceous, circular patches, but several different variants have be…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To discuss evidence supporting the use of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) to treat obesity and their role as a cardioprotective drug. Obesity is not just a hypertrophy of the adipose tissue because it may become…
Tirzepatide is the first dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor co-agonist approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the USA, Europe, and the UAE. Tirzepatide is an acylated peptide engineered to activate the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, key mediators of insulin…
Metabolically associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a liver manifestation of metabolic syndrome potentially related to unfavorable hepatic and extrahepatic outcomes and progression to cirrhosis. Up to date, there are no approved pharmacotherapies…
BACKGROUND: Exploratory analysis to determine the effect of semaglutide versus comparators on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Trials of once-weekly subcutaneous (SUSTAIN 3) and once-daily oral (P…
PURPOSE: According to the requirements of the "Quick Guide for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions", this health technology assessment provides an evidence-based basis for drug selection and rational clinical use of glucagon…
Obesity is characterized by visceral fat accumulation and various metabolic disturbances that cause metabolic syndrome and obesity-related cardiovascular diseases (ORCVDs). Hence, treatments targeting obesity should also prevent ORCVDs. Nonetheless,…
BACKGROUND: As a life-threatening respiratory syndrome, acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by uncontrollable inflammatory activities. Semaglutide (SEM) has been identified as an effective anti-inflammatory drug in a variety of diseases. This st…
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease for which an individualised treatment approach is recommended. Once-weekly (OW) semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist approved for the treatment of insufficiently controlled T2D. The aim…
BACKGROUND: Prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity are problematic for individuals with schizophrenia partly because atypical antipsychotics and mental distress themselves increase appetite, thus promoting subsequent body weight gain…
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the commonest chronic liver disease and affects a considerable proportion of the general population worldwide. Obesity is a major risk factor for development and progression of NAFLD and weight loss is an e…
IMPORTANCE: No retrospective cohort study has assessed the effectiveness of semaglutide at doses used in randomized clinical trials to treat obesity (ie, 1.7 and 2.4 mg). OBJECTIVE: To study weight loss outcomes associated with semaglutide treatment…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the changes in obesity severity, glucose metabolism, and body composition in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA)…
Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by the abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat, affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide. Obesity is commonly associated with other metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fa…
