A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a global epidemic affecting 2.5 billion people and is recognized as the fourth leading cause of global mortality. Obesity is characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat and is associated with a range of health consequ…
BACKGROUND: Antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) represents a significant clinical challenge for both patients and clinicians, requiring appropriate interventions to prevent or reverse weight gain in patients using antipsychotics. Glucagon-like p…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have been developed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although, in the last 10 years, the use of GLP-1 RAs, especially semaglutide and liraglutide, has increased, its clinical implications and h…
Postpartum mothers and their healthcare providers often face the challenge of limited data regarding the safety of drug therapies during lactation. Pregnancy can lead to sustained weight gain, and obesity can negatively impact both physical and psych…
GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) are drugs that mimic the effects of the incretin hormone GLP1 and were initially introduced in medicine for the treatment of diabetes in 2005 and for obesity in 2014. Over time, data from secondary and exploratory ob…
Diabetes and obesity have emerged as major global health concerns. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a natural incretin hormone, stimulates insulin production and suppresses glucagon secretion to stabilize and reduce blood glucose levels and control a…
INTRODUCTION: Genetic obesity susceptibility in postoperative bariatric surgery weight regain (PBSWR) remains largely unexplored. METHODS: A retrospective case series of adult (N = 27) PBSWR patients who had undergone genetic obesity testing was cond…
BACKGROUND: The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide, improved health status and reduced body weight in patients with obesity-related heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in the STEP-HFpEF (Semaglutide Treatmen…
Peptide glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are effective drugs for treating type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and have been proven to benefit the heart and kidney. Apart from oral semaglutide, which does not require injection, other peptide GL…
BACKGROUND: In recent years, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists have garnered increasing attention for their potential cardiovascular benefits beyond glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Understanding the research landscape surrounding G…
AIMS: To describe trends in the use of anti-obesity drugs in Norway during the period 2004-2022. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assessed the annual utilization of any available drug indicated for obesity recorded in the nationwide Norwegian Prescribed Dru…
OBJECTIVES: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a major cause of incapacity and death, imposing a significant economic burden globally. Additionally, SAH is the third most prevalent form of stroke. Semaglutide affects oxidative stress, inflammation, and…
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Semaglutide on intrauterine adhesions and discover new drugs for such adhesions. In this study, the cell model was simulated by TGF-β1-induced human endometrial epithelial cells, and the animal m…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) therapy provides glycemic benefits to individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the effects of GLP-1 RA therapy in combination with FreeStyle Libre systems (FSL) are unknown. This study aime…
