INTRODUCTION: The mechanistic role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in modulating brain functional activity has been inadequately examined. Mental disorders are characterized by dysregulated functional connect…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists (G1RA) have gained popularity as a treatment for weight loss in patients who are overweight or obese, but their utilization patterns and impact on candidates for metabolic and bariatric surgery (M…
INTRODUCTION: The high risk of cardiovascular events in people with type 2 diabetes increases with age. The cardiovascular effects of once-weekly subcutaneous and once-daily oral semaglutide versus placebo in people with type 2 diabetes at high cardi…
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the chief causes of infertility in women of reproductive age. Several drugs belonging to the oral contraceptive class have been approved for the treatment of PCOS. Nonetheless, the capability to target onl…
PURPOSE: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) stands as the most prevalent metabolic disorder globally. T2DM entails numerous cardiovascular complications, which contribute significantly to morbidity, mortality, and increased public spending worldwide. Th…
Previous reports from our laboratory describing the formation of myofibrils in cultured embryonic cardiac and skeletal muscle cells have proposed that myofibrillogenesis occurs in three steps of increasing protein organization: beginning with premyof…
Pediatric obesity, characterized by a body mass index (BMI) at or above the 95th percentile for age, affects a substantial number of children and adolescents worldwide. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known…
AIMS: The study aims to examine the outcome of replacement of prandial insulin with once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes reasonably controlled on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This sing…
INTRODUCTION: Oral semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) approved for improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The PIONEER REAL program evaluates clinical and patient-reported outcomes of oral sem…
IMPORTANCE: Preliminary studies suggest that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1) agonists, used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, may decrease alcohol consumption. OBJECTIVE: To test whether the risk of hospitalization due to alcohol use dis…
BACKGROUND: No head-to-head comparisons of semaglutide formulations currently exist in the literature. In practice, many may think that oral and injectable semaglutide formulations are interchangeable, although there is currently limited real-world d…
BACKGROUND: Diabetes has been a long-known risk factor for male sexual dysfunction, which may be caused by persistent hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and spermatogenesis inhibition. This study explored the potential of Semaglutide (Sem) to alleviate…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) potentially increase the risk of pulmonary aspiration resulting from impaired gastric emptying (IGE). We evaluated the association between GLP-1RAs and IGE using the US Food and Drug Ad…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and ophthalmic adverse drug reactions (OADRs) using data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). METHODS: This retrospective pharmaco…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists like semaglutide have risen significantly in use in recent years as a therapeutic option for the management of obesity. Popular media serves as an information source for many patients, and dependin…
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) affects approximately half of the 500 million people with type 2 diabetes worldwide. Previous studies have suggested that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors in the peripheral nervous system may be a suitabl…
