INTRODUCTION: To complement results of the SUSTAIN program, this study assessed effectiveness and safety of once weekly subcutaneous semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) managed under routine care. METHODS: This was a multicenter, observa…
The combined use of gastrointestinal hormones for treating metabolic diseases is gaining increasing attention. It was documented previously that co-administration of a cholecystokinin receptor-1 receptor (CCK-1R) agonist with a glucagon-like peptide-…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Oral semaglutide is the first glucagon-like petide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) approved for oral use in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aim to conduct a comprehensive review of literature to find out the eff…
The substantial financial burden associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) over a lifetime cannot be neglected. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacoeconomic value of three once-weekly GLP-1 RAs, namely subcutaneous semaglut…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether the hormone changes following weight loss are proportional to the degree of weight loss and to starting BMI. METHODS: A very low-energy diet was used to achieve 15% weight loss. Fasting and po…
INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) management has reached a point where not only optimal glycaemic control is necessary, but also additional interventions with proven cardiovascular risk reduction benefit. Subcutaneous semaglutide has been shown to…
OBJECTIVE: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a post hoc analysis of pooled data from Trial…
PURPOSE: Greater medication adherence and persistence have been associated with improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study compared adherence, persistence, and treatment patterns among patients naïve to glucagon-l…
BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterised by hepatic lipid accumulation, cell injury, inflammation and fibrosis. Insulin resistance, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, is a key pathogenic driver of NASH. Other th…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of vitamin E, pioglitazone, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). DESIGN: A network meta…
BACKGROUND: The number of obese people continues to increase worldwide, and obesity-related complications add to every country's health burden. Consequently, new weight-loss medications, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), a…
INTRODUCTION: Untreated nonalcoholic fatty liver may progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis and induce hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), often complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver…
The rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity and obesity-associated morbidity is causing an ever-increasing global burden. Beyond lifestyle modifications, pharmacological approaches to losing body weight to achieve a decrease in cardiometabolic compl…
Peptide and protein bioconjugation technologies have revolutionized our ability to site-specifically or chemoselectively install a variety of functional groups for applications in chemical biology and medicine, including the enhancement of bioavailab…
The metabolic setpoint theory is based upon the premise that there is a barohomeostatic mechanism in humans which maintains weight within a predetermined range. This is viewed as an obstacle to weight loss, but can also be considered an opportunity t…
The ABCD semaglutide audit was designed to capture the routine clinical outcomes of people commenced on semaglutide in the UK. Previous work showed differential reductions in HbA1c and weight dependent on previous glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor ago…
AIM: To evaluate the cardiovascular (CV) efficacy of liraglutide and semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: LEADER and SUSTAIN 6 trials investigated subcutaneous liraglutide (≤1.…
New appetite-regulating antiobesity treatments such as semaglutide and agents under investigation such as tirzepatide show promise in achieving weight loss of 15% or more. Energy expenditure, fat oxidation, and lean mass preservation are important de…
OBJECTIVE: Modest weight loss (5%-10%) is clinically meaningful in patients with overweight or obesity. However, greater weight loss may be required to achieve improvements in or remission of certain weight-related complications. Therefore, this stud…
