IMPORTANCE: Phase 3 trials have not compared semaglutide and liraglutide, glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues available for weight management. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and adverse event profiles of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide, 2.4 mg…
There are no licensed treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but three different classes of antihyperglycaemic drugs-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, an…
BACKGROUND: It is the investigator's responsibility to communicate the relevant information about a clinical trial to participants before they provide informed consent to take part. Systematic reviews indicate that participants often have a poor unde…
Lipidation, a common strategy to improve half-life of therapeutic peptides, affects their tendency to oligomerize, their interaction with plasmatic proteins, and their catabolism. In this work, we have leveraged the use of NMR and SPR spectroscopy to…
While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), such as semaglutide, are among the most effective drugs for treating people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), they are clinically under-utilised. Until recently, the only route for semaglutide ad…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are promising weight-loss drugs, but real-world data concerning the liability of GLP-1RAs in gastrointestinal safety are lacking. We examined the differences in gastrointestinal…
BACKGROUND: Newer glucose-lowering drugs, including sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and GLP-1 agonists, have a key role in the pharmacologic management of type 2 diabetes. No studies have measured primary nonadherence for these tw…
Among the recent advances in gastroenterology, colonoscopy with artificial intelligence is associated with a better quality of screening. In refractory UC, Ozanimod seems to be an interesting salvage treatment, which still needs to be validated by Sw…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the cost effectiveness of oral semaglutide versus other oral glucose-lowering drugs for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Sweden. METHODS: The Swedish Institute for Health Economics Diabetes Coh…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a potential therapeutic agent for treating Type 2 diabetes, owing to its glucose-dependent capability to stimulate insulin secretion. Semaglutide is currently the best GLP-1 analogue; however, the Aib-Arg-GLP-1 (7-3…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) are two class B1 G protein-coupled receptors, which are stimulated by the gastrointestinal hormones GLP-1 and GIP, respectively. In the pancrea…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize recent developments of long-acting amylin analogues for the treatment of obesity and to outline their mode of action. RECENT FINDINGS: Amylin is a pancreatic hormone acting to control energy homeostasis and body weight…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the currently available data on the effect of Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) on postprandial lipaemia. RECENT FINDINGS: Out of the available studies that examined the respective lipid parameter, exe…
The ever-changing scenario of diabetes care, especially pharmacotherapy, calls for a framework to help classify non-insulin glucose drugs. Such a taxonomic structure should be of contemporary relevance as well as futuristic in vision; scholarly in in…
AIMS/INTRODUCTION: To assess the impact of baseline characteristics on the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the Peptide InnOvatioN for Early diabEtes tReatment (PIONEER) 9 an…
INTRODUCTION: The method of therapy administration and injection device characteristics have been documented to influence perceptions and preference of treatment among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to assess the metabolic effectivenes…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death and disability among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), presenting a significant impact on longevity, patient quality of life, and health care costs. In the United States, attainment of recommend…
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) commonly co-occur. T2DM increases the risk for AD by approximately twofold. Animal models provide one means of interrogating the relationship of T2DM to AD and investigating brain insulin r…
AIMS: To evaluate whether the potent hypophagic and weight-suppressive effects of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) and semaglutide combined would be a more efficacious antiobesity treatment than either treatment alone by examining whether the…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide 2·4 mg once weekly has been investigated for weight management in global populations. Differences exist between Asian and non-Asian populations in terms of body composition and definitions of obesity. In the Semaglutide Treatm…
