Targeted screening for steatotic liver disease (SLD) is cost-effective and encourages lifestyle changes.The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) recommends screening adults at risk of SLD to enable timely diagnosis and prevention, e…
INTRODUCTION: Peptide-based therapeutics represent a rapidly expanding class of drugs. Endogenous peptides typically exhibit short elimination half-lives due to proteolytic cleavage and renal filtration. However, modifications such as amino acid subs…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists continue to gain popularity in treating an increasing number of chronic conditions. As such, it is imperative that providers keep a vigilant eye on patients utilizing these medicines, monitoring for both known…
BACKGROUND: Since obesity and its associated metabolic dysregulation are recognized risk factors for cognitive decline, this study investigated whether semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist proven to have cardiometabolic benefits, c…
CONTEXT: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) have potent glucose-lowering and weight loss benefits, but their effects on bone remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in patients using semaglutid…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is increasingly used for the treatment of diabetes and weight loss, including in women of reproductive age. However, its impact on pregnancy outcomes remains largely unknown, with l…
OBJECTIVES: Unimolecular triagonists drive substantial weight loss in patients with obesity by engaging the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) to reduce food intake (FI) and the…
INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly impacts the patients' quality of life due to chronic complications and associated comorbidities. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have demonstrated benefits in glycemic…
In late 2025, the White House announced new Most Favored Nation (MFN) pricing agreements for the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist class, including 3 semaglutide products, establishing substantially lower prices for Medicare and Medicaid. Shor…
We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT for treatment response assessment. Beyond oncologic findings, the scan revealed abnormal gastric retention, gallbladder, colonic, and renal uptake…
The objective of this is to compare the effects of diet restriction and semaglutide treatment on body composition (BC), energy expenditure (EE), and metabolic adaptation (MA) in Göttingen Minipigs as a model for human obesity. Diet-induced obese Gött…
This review evaluates the available pharmacokinetic data on the plasma-to-breastmilk transfer of first- and second-line T2DM drugs against available clinical guideline recommendations. A list of drug therapies for treating T2DM was generated from nat…
AIMS: To examine the impact of FDA approval of semaglutide (Wegovy) for chronic weight management on the utilization gap between males and females in the United States. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study utilized 2019-2024 MarketScan commercial claims…
Background and objective Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), especially semaglutide, are commonly used to treat obesity and diabetes. They may influence sebaceous gland activity, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and acne via metaboli…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), characterised by hepatic steatosis and metabolic dysfunction (i.e., obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension), is affecting over 30% of the adult population worldwide.…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and intestinal cancers and to explore the risk factors for these associations. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochra…
