The approvals of semaglutide and tirzepatide have set new benchmarks in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Building on their success, novel glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based therapeutics are rapidly advancing. These next-generation age…
Obesity has emerged as a global health crisis requiring innovative therapeutic strategies beyond conventional approaches. While glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists have redefined pharmacological management, their limi…
Complement inhibitors are expanding their indications in nephrology. In patients with type 2 diabetes, semaglutide prevents chronic kidney disease (CKD), while retatrutide reduces albuminuria in patients with diabetes and established CKD. Obinutuzuma…
The epidemics of metabolic disease, in the form of obesity and type 2 diabetes, are a growing public health concern. However, incretin-based therapeutics have transformed our ability to address these diseases. While this current generation of increti…
INTRODUCTION: Obesity management medications can reduce body weight and have an impact on patients' appetite and eating behaviors. Existing patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures do not fully capture appetite and eating behavior concepts relevant to…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon receptor agonists (GRAs) are an emerging class of therapies for obesity and type 2 diabetes, demonstrating encouraging metabolic and weight-reducing effects. Several investigational GRA-based agents, including retatrutide, cota…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used for T2DM and obesity. AREAS COVERED: An electronic search was conducted in Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases. Retatrutide (LY3437943) is a nov…
OBJECTIVE/METHODS: Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of the triple glucagon, GIP, and GLP-1 receptor agonist retatrutide in diet-induced obese MASH mouse and hamster models, two preclinical models that we routinely use for assessing new therapies…
INTRODUCTION: Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed in the hypothalamus, playing a key role in regulating feeding behavior and energy homeostasis. MC4R is integral to the POMC-MC4R and leptin-MC4R pathways, which co…
Incretin-based dual and triple agonists have emerged as effective options for obesity management, offering enhanced weight loss through multi-receptor agonism. However, data on their efficacy and safety remain limited. We conducted a systematic revie…
OBJECTIVE: Obesity and overweight are associated with significant psychosocial burden. Existing patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures only assess a subset of emotion-related concepts that are relevant to individuals living with these conditions. Th…
OBJECTIVES: To explore the association of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on heart rate (HR) in overweight or obese patients without diabetes. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Li…
Dual and triple incretin-based therapies are transforming treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. By targeting glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, and glucagon recepto…
Incretin-based pharmacotherapy has rapidly transformed obesity management. However, despite its efficacy, gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs) are common and represent a major driver of treatment discontinuation. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiti…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is highly prevalent among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This review summarizes current evidence on the pharmacologic treatment of MASLD, with emphasis on ag…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), recently redefined from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), highlights the central role of metabolic dysfunction in its pathophysiology. The L-α-lysophosphatidylinositol/G protein-c…
Pediatric obesity is increasing at an alarming rate, affecting over 381 million children worldwide and emerging as a critical public health issue. According to World Health Organization (WHO) 2016, 40% of adults are overweight and 13% are obese, high…
Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown unprecedented efficacy in weight loss and improving metabolic parameters in clinical trials. However, the durability of these benefits after treatment cessation remains poorly understood. This…
SARS-CoV-2 is a global problem nowadays. Based on studies, some human receptors are involved in binding to SARS-CoV-2. Thus, the inhibition of these receptors can be effective in the treatment of Covid-19. Because of the proven benefits of antimicrob…
STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between disruption of cartilage endplates and postoperative recurrence of lumber disk herniation (LDH) using preoperative T1-weighted magnetic res…
