A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Newer glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs) protect against cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, and neuroinflammatory pathologies. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing newer GLDs to placebo that assessed lo…
OBJECTIVE: This is a narrative review of incretin analogs and their effect on weight management in adult without diabetes. DATA SOURCES: Randomized controlled trials were identified by English language. PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase databases we…
Digital weight-loss services (DWLSs) that supplement continuous lifestyle coaching with semaglutide therapy have shown promise in delivering continuous and effective obesity care. However, the extent to which lifestyle coaching design influences pati…
INTRODUCTION: Oral semaglutide provides an alternative to injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) for treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The PIONEER REAL studies evaluate clinical outcomes of oral semaglutide treatment of T2D…
BACKGROUND: Over the past 4 decades, obesity has escalated into a global epidemic, with its worldwide prevalence nearly tripling. Pharmacological treatments have evolved with the recent development of glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists, such as semaglu…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 Receptor agonists (GLP-1Ras) such as liraglutide and semaglutide have been recently approved as medications for chronic weight management in people living with obesity (PwO); GLP-1 may enhance bone metabolism and improve bone…
Metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, hyperlipidemia, and obesity commonly co-occur but clinical treatment options do not effectively target all disorders. Calorie restriction, semaglutide, rosiglitazone, and mitochondrial…
INTRODUCTION: Obesity, marked by abnormal fat accumulation, poses significant health risks, necessitating effective therapeutic interventions. The focus of this review is to elucidate the importance of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor-binding…
BACKGROUND: The use of meal replacement products (MRPs) to obtain a caloric deficit while maintaining micro- and macronutrient requirements, has a long tradition in obesity medicine. Limitations include low compliance, variability in efficacy, advers…
BACKGROUND: Obesity has increased in recent years with consequences on diabetes and other comorbidities. Thus, 1 out of 3 diabetic patients suffers cardiovascular disease (CVD). The network among glucose, immune system, endothelium and epicardial fat…
INTRODRODUCTION: Obesity and its associated metabolic conditions have become a significant global health problem in recent years, with many people living with obesity fulfilling criteria for pharmacological treatment. The development of the glucagon-…
Orally bioavailable, synthetic nonpeptide agonists (NPAs) of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) may offer an effective, scalable pharmacotherapy to address the metabolic disease epidemic. One of the first molecules in the emerging class of…
Long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have traditionally been used for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. More recently, the medical community in the United States has used its most common side effect, weight loss, as an ad…
OBJECTIVE: To determine patient characteristics and dose titration patterns of real-world semaglutide (Wegovy) users. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We used a population-based cohort study including Danish adults who filled semaglutide prescriptions fr…
: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have demonstrated significant efficacy in obesity treatment beyond their original development for type-2 diabetes management. This comprehensive study investigated the relationship between GLP-1R…
BACKGROUND: To estimate the long-term cost-effectiveness of once-weekly semaglutide versus sitagliptin as an add-on therapy for type 2 diabetes patients inadequately controlled on metformin in China, to better inform healthcare decision making. METHO…
