INTRODUCTION: Incretin-based therapies exert antihyperglycaemic effects in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a blood glucose concentration-dependent fashion. The first-in-class oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide has potent…
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and osteoporosis are two highly prevalent metabolic diseases. Increasing experimental evidence supports a pathophysiological link between NAFLD and osteoporosis. A key feature could be chronic, low-grade infla…
AIM: To conduct an adjusted indirect treatment comparison (aITC) of the efficacy of tirzepatide 5/10/15 mg versus semaglutide 2 mg in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The primary analysis was a Bucher aITC of the change from base…
Obesity is always genetic or epigenetic in origin in an obesogenic environment. Dietary therapy is required for weight loss. Drugs to suppress hunger and increase satiety may assist while losing weight and are essential for most patients in the weigh…
A group of long-acting, peptide-based, and selective GLP-1R/CCK-2R dual agonizts were identified by rational design. Guided by sequence analysis, structural elements of the CCK-2R agonist moiety were engineered into the GLP-1R agonist Xenopus GLP-1,…
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is known to be associated with neurobiological and cognitive deficits; however, their extent, overlap with aging effects, and the effectiveness of existing treatments in the context of the brain are current…
To describe the process of initiation of semaglutide for complex management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a patient after liver transplantation.Family medicine clinic.A family medicine clinic comprising six physicians with an ambulatory care…
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing and strongly associated with the metabolic syndrome, especially with obesity. A subtype, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), might progress to advanced fibrosis and…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To assess the safety and efficacy of semaglutide compared with placebo and other anti-hyperglycaemic agents in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane library for relevant randomi…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The burden of obesity worldwide is high and projected to rise. Obesity increases the risk of several cardiovascular diseases and cardiometabolic risk factors; hence, utilizing effective long-term therapies for obesity is of utmost…
The globally increasing prevalence of obesity represents a key medical and socioeconomic challenge. Due to related comorbidities and complications such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, fatty liver disease, and arteriosclerosis, obesity le…
INTRODUCTION: Semaglutide, a peptidic GLP-1 receptor agonist, has been clinically approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and is available in subcutaneous and oral dosage form. Diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity are responsible for…
AIMS: Despite their established benefits, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) remain underutilized for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management, which indicates that subcutaneous injection is an unfavorable mode of delivery from t…
Astrocytes play an essential role in the modulation of blood-brain barrier function. Neurological diseases induce the transformation of astrocytes into a neurotoxic A1 phenotype, exacerbating brain injury. However, the effect of A1 astrocytes on the…
AIMS: To describe the in vitro characteristics and antidiabetic in vivo efficacy of the novel glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) GL0034. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) kinetic binding parameters, cycl…
