A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), represents a rapidly expanding global health challenge with substantial public health and economic consequences. Recent advances in antidiabetic therapy-including dipeptidyl peptidase-4…
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) constitutes a critical global health challenge, with gut-liver axis dysfunction and metabolic endotoxemia serving as key drivers. The traditional Chinese medicinal formula E…
Semaglutide has emerged as a leading therapy for metabolic disorders, with robust evidence supporting its role in treating obesity and type 2 diabetes while reducing cardiovascular and renal risks. However, limited data exist on the proportion of pat…
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a vascular disease characterized by the progressive dilation of the aorta, culminating in rupture. At present, there are no pharmacological treatments to prevent AAA development or reduce rupture rate. A recent stud…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a potentially progressive form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), increases risk of fibrosis progression, cirrhosis, and liver-related and cardiometabolic morb…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by an exceptionally high global prevalence that is projected to continue rising in the near future. MASLD is strongly associated with a spectrum of cardiometabolic risk…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Little is known about glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) use in multiple sclerosis. We described the frequency and characteristics associated with use. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of NARCOMS Registry…
GLP-1-based drugs are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects more than 60% of patients with T2DM, and the gut microbiome plays a critical rol…
Obesity is associated with increased risk of at least 13 adult cancer types and is the second most common cause of cancer (after tobacco) in many populations. Uncertainty about the extent to which intentional weight loss leads to reduced cancer risk…
Motivation plays a fundamental role in human behaviour. Dopaminergic pathways have long been implicated in individual differences in motivation. Emerging evidence suggests such neural mechanisms interact with metabolic processes to coordinate energy…
AIM: PIONEER REAL Saudi Arabia investigated real-world clinical outcomes associated with the use of once-daily oral semaglutide in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a 34- to 44-week multicentre, prospective, open-labe…
AIMS: There is growing evidence that the GLP-1 system is implicated in alcohol and other substance use disorders, and that GLP-1-based therapies may have therapeutic relevance in alcohol use disorder (AUD). We aimed to determine the impact of GLP-1 b…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD) and its progression to steatohepatitis (MASH) are highly prevalent among obese patients, contributing substantially to healthcare costs. Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor a…
What is this summary about? Many people live with extra weight or obesity. Semaglutide is a type of weight loss medication for the treatment of obesity. A study published in 2024 reported on the experiences of people taking semaglutide. People living…
INTRODUCTION: Binge eating disorder (BED) is a common psychiatric condition associated with psychological and cardiometabolic morbidity. Psychotherapy remains a core treatment modality while pharmacologic agents such as lisdexamfetamine, selective-se…
BACKGROUND: Poor glycemic control in elderly diabetes patients leads to complications like nephropathy. Semaglutide (SEM), a GLP-1 receptor agonist, may improve both blood glucose (BG) control and renal function (RF). This study evaluates the effects…
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…
