A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), including Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves' disease, represents the most prevalent organ-specific autoimmunity and a major cause of thyroid dysfunction worldwide. Increasingly, AITD coexists with metabolic disorders…
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to estimate comprehensive value of semaglutide in the Medicare population for current and future FDA-approved indications. METHODS: We used data from government reports, published clinical studies, and real…
BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) causes cognitive function disorder and has become the preeminent cause of dementia. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, semaglutide, have shown positive effects on promoting the cognitive function. Ho…
Adipose tissue is a central player in energy balance and glucose homeostasis, expanding in the face of caloric overload in order to store energy safely. If caloric overload continues unabated, however, adipose tissue becomes dysfunctional, leading to…
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of three antidiabetic drug classes-SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and sulfonylureas-in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated by heart failure (HF). We…
Obesity is a complex and growing global concern, affecting one in eight individuals and compromising health, quality of life and life expectancy. It carries significant metabolic, cardiovascular, oncological, hepatorenal, skeletal and psychiatric ris…
This opinion paper aims to discuss the influence of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), on lean mass beyond its impact on weight loss. Although significant weight loss is achieved with semaglutide, the impact of this dr…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and lipid metabolism impact of intensified treatment with degludec-aspart dual insulin combined with semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: A systematic comparison and analysis were conduct…
Carnitine plays an essential role in maintaining energy homeostasis and metabolic flexibility. Various medications, such as pivalate-conjugated antibiotics, valproic acid, and anticancer agents, can induce carnitine deficiency, inhibit the utilizatio…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are associated with gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects, but real-world evidence about their incidence in patients with functional GI disorders is limited. We examined their prescript…
