Twelve double fatty chains and Aib-Arg-GLP-1 (7-37) were designed and obtained by microwave-assisted solid-phase synthesis. Then, twelve conjugates of Aib-Arg-GLP-1 (7-37) were synthesized in 1% triethylamine aqueous solution. Conjugates 2, 3, 6, 7,…
AIMS: SURE Switzerland (NCT03631186) investigated real-world once-weekly (OW) semaglutide use in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: This multicentre, prospective, observational study enrolled adults with T2D with ≥ 1 documented HbAvalue ≤ 12…
AIM: We evaluated the effect of the latest GLP-1 RA semaglutide on tongue fat storage in obese women. DESIGN: We conducted a randomized single-blind, pilot study. METHODS: Twenty-five obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (33.7 ± 5.3 year…
Wilding JPH, Batterham RL, Calanna S, et al.N Engl J Med. 2021;384:989. 33567185.
Lower extremity amputations (LEA) are associated with a high mortality and medical expenditure. Diabetes accounts for 45% to 70% of LEA and is one of the most potent risk factors for peripheral artery diseases (PAD). The existence of a link between t…
Healthcare providers (HCPs) see many patients with obesity-related complications and are therefore well placed to help treat obesity itself. However, limited collated information exists to help HCPs with the practical use of anti-obesity medications…
Despite the benefits of early and effective glycemic control in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), achieving glycated hemoglobin (HbA) targets is challenging in some patients. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) provide effecti…
The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) regulates insulin secretion, carbohydrate metabolism, and appetite and is an important target for treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Multiple GLP-1R agonists have entered into clinical trials, with…
Early and effective glycemic control can prevent or delay the complications associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The benefits of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are becoming increasingly recognized and they now feature prominen…
This communication provides a contemporary classification of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) based on indication, route, and frequency of administration, which could support a person-centric approach to treatment choice. It includ…
The GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in the kidney is expressed exclusively in vascular smooth muscle cells in arteries and arterioles. Downstream effects of the activation of the renal vascular GLP-1R are elusive but may involve regulation of the renin-angio…
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular (CV) effects of once-weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) semaglutide 0.5 and 1 mg and dulaglutide 1.5 mg are reported in their respective placebo-controlled cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs), SUSTAIN 6 and REWIND. There is no…
BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies demonstrated that glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is locally synthesized in taste bud cells and that GLP-1 receptor exists on the gustatory nerves in close proximity to GLP-1-containing taste bud cells. This local para…
AIM: To compare the effects of semaglutide 1.0 mg versus dulaglutide 3.0 and 4.5 mg on HbA1c and body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Bucher indirect comparison was conducted to compare efficacy outcomes of semagluti…
A hallmark of the pancreatic hormone amylin is its high propensity toward the formation of amyloid fibrils, which makes it a challenging drug design effort. The amylin analogue pramlintide is commercially available for diabetes treatment as an adjunc…
BACKGROUND: Oral semaglutide comprises the glucagon-like peptide-1 analog, semaglutide, and sodium-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate (SNAC). Levothyroxine has similar dosing conditions to oral semaglutide. This trial investigated if oral semaglu…
