A triple agonist of GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors being investigated for obesity and type 2 diabetes treatment.
Obesity is a chronic disease associated with increased risk of obesity-related complications and mortality. Our better understanding of the weight regulation mechanisms and the role of gut-brain axis on appetite has led to the development of safe and…
PURPOSE: To assess and compare the therapeutic efficacy of Liraglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide in treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in db/db mice. METHODS: Db/db mice were administered intraperitoneal injections of Liraglutide (10 nmol/kg)…
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) impact more than 2.5 billion adults worldwide, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches. Unimolecular polypharmacology, which involves designing single molecules to target multiple receptors or pathw…
BACKGROUND: Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dual or triple co-agonists for weight loss among adults with overweight or obesity and without diabetes. PURPOSE: To as…
BACKGROUND: High prices and other access barriers have contributed to the rise of a market for compounded glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for weight loss in the United States. This market has not been systematically studied. We conducted a…
INTRODUCTION: Retatrutide is a novel triple hormone receptor agonist which has shown great promise in tackling obesity in preliminary trials. We did this systematic review and meta-analysis to pool the results of all available trials and ascertain it…
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in obese patients remains challenging. Recent studies have linked obesity to an increased risk of TNBC and malignancies. Through multiomic analysis and experimental validation, a dysfunctional Eukaryotic Translati…
The objective of this study is to quantitatively compare the weight loss effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in adult patients with no diabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D). PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Tri…
The history of antiobesity pharmacotherapies is marked by disappointments, often entangled with societal pressure promoting weight loss and the prevailing conviction that excess body weight signifies a lack of willpower. However, categories of emergi…
BACKGROUND: The rapid development of multi-receptor drugs targeting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is driving significant advancements in the treatment of individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity. This systematic review and network met…
AIM: Obesity is a global epidemic. The FDA has approved glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists such as Liraglutide, Semaglutide, and the GLP-1/gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) dual agonist Tirzepatide for the treatment of obesity. Clin…
INTRODUCTION: GLP-1-based therapies have changed the treatment of overweight/obesity. Liraglutide 3.0 mg daily, the first GLP-1 RA approved for treatment of overweight, induced a weight loss of 6-8%, Semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly improved weight los…
AIM: To verify sex differences of GLP-1RAs for weight reduction. METHODS: We searched RCTs reporting weight change by sex from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials registries. Meta-regression was performed to evaluate…
Albiglutide, dulaglutide, exenatide, liraglutide, lixisenatide, orforglipron and semaglutide are glucagon-like peptide‑1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Tirzepatide targets not only GLP‑1 but also glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) receptors a…
Recent studies with peptide-based incretin therapies have focussed mainly on the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist semaglutide and the dual agonist tirzepatide that engages receptors for GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polyp…
Medical therapeutics for weight loss are changing the landscape of obesity but impacts on obesity-associated cancer remain unclear. We report that in pre-clinical models with significant retatrutide (RETA, LY3437943)-induced weight loss, pancreatic c…
Obesity is a growing global epidemic and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, previous weight loss interventions have largely failed to demonstrate consistent cardiovascular benefits. While lifestyle modifications remain the corne…
Obesity, a multifaceted and chronic condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation, poses significant risks to overall health and is associated with various metabolic and cardiovascular complications. This literature review evaluates and compa…
BACKGROUND: The cardioprotective effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA)-based therapies in nondiabetic individuals with overweight or obesity remain underexplored. This meta-analysis evaluates their impact on cardiovascular eve…
BACKGROUND: Retatrutide is a novel triple agonist targeting the receptors of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), and glucagon. We sought to assess the efficacy and safety of retatrutide in obese patients with or wit…
