A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Glucagon-like peptide receptor (GLP-1R) agonists (e.g., semaglutide, liraglutide, etc.) are efficient treatment options for people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. The manufacturing method to produce semaglutide, a blockbuster GLP-1 drug on the mark…
OBJECTIVE: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) are common in renal transplant recipients. Semaglutide has demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients with T2DM. To date, only a limited number of studies have…
Semaglutide, an agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, is frequently used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2, although, lately, weight loss has additionally become a reason for its use. However, if a patient is already experiencin…
Obesity, which is driven by inflammation and oxidative stress, is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is an antidiabetic drug with major effects on weight loss. In this study, single-cell…
Obesity is a significant risk factor for health issues like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It often proves resistant to traditional lifestyle interventions, prompting a need for more precise therapeutic strategies. This has led to a focu…
BACKGROUND: The challenge of addressing obesity persists in healthcare, necessitating nuanced approaches and personalized strategies. This study aims to evaluate the effects of diverse therapeutic interventions on anthropometric and biochemical param…
Obesity impacts mental health greatly. Psychological factors may influence the effectiveness of its treatment. This study aimed to compare symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder and depression among adult women across different weight categories. T…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has crucial impact on glycemic control and weight loss physiologically. GLP-1 receptor agonists have been approved for treatment of diabetes and obesity. Emerging evidence suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists exert an…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, liraglutide and tirzepatide are glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists that are effective for weight reduction. Recent reports of patients experiencing suicidal thoughts and other psychiatric adverse events while u…
OBJECTIVE: To examine the accuracy of different periods of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and their combination for estimating mean glycemia over 90 days (AG90). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied 98…
Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is a form of autoimmune diabetes that typically occurs in adulthood and has intermediate characteristics between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. To optimize the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, recently, a…
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated baseline characteristics of participants with early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the SURPASS program and tirzepatide's effects on glycemic control, body weight (BW), and cardiometabolic markers. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. Recent data highlight similarities between neurodegenerative diseases, including PD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), suggesting a crucial interplay between the gut-bra…
This systematic review evaluates the efficacy and safety of semaglutide in individuals with obesity or overweight without diabetes. Obesity is a significant public health concern, associated with various comorbidities and reduced quality of life. Sem…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a highly prevalent cause of physical disability. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are used to treat type 2 diabetes and animal studies have shown that glucagon-like peptide…
