A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
The present article discusses the evaluation and surgical planning of body contouring procedures for weight loss patients. These patients require thorough preoperative evaluation and patient education. Distinction should be made between massive weigh…
BACKGROUND: Reports of reduced desire to smoke in patients treated with semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) medication for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, have raised interest about its potential benefit for t…
Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa are often associated with obesity. Because chronic low-grade inflammation underlies these 2 diseases, they can progress to more severe forms in patients with obesity if weight-reduction measures are not taken. T…
PURPOSE: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) are effective therapies in lowering glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA), providing cardioprotective benefits, and lowering weight. The use of GLP1-RA solely for weight-loss has become commonplace…
No meta-analysis has analysed role of cagrilintide as weight-loss medication in obese individuals. Electronic databases were searched for RCTs involving obese individuals receiving cagrilintide or cagrilintide-2.4 mg with semaglutide-2.4 mg combinati…
Diabetes mellitus is an irreversible, chronic metabolic disorder indicated by hyperglycemia. It is now considered a worldwide pandemic. T2DM, a spectrum of diseases initially caused by tissue insulin resistance and slowly developing to a state charac…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists reduce food intake, producing remarkable weight loss in overweight and obese individuals. While much of this weight loss is fat mass, there is also a loss of lean mass, similar to other app…
Semaglutide is the second marketed glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist that can be used safely and efficiently in non-diabetic people with excess weight, providing a new milestone in the pharmacological treatment of obesity. This narrative revie…
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. In recent decades, type-2 diabetes has become increasingly common, particularly in younger individuals. Diabetes leads to many vascular complications, including atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosi…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) based therapies, including GLP-1 agonists, are currently in use for treatment of diabetes and obesity. However, several complications may occur with their use. OBJECTIVE: This narrative review provides a…
Introduction The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) has gained acceptance in managing diabetic and non-diabetic patients, thanks to its benefits in treating obesity and improving cardiovascular outcomes. The potential ability…
PURPOSE: This study provides a reference for healthcare organizations in the selection and rational use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), based on the Rapid Guide for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institution…
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading etiology of blindness in the working population of the USA. Its long-term management relies on effective glycemic control. Seven anti-diabetic classes have been introduced for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2…
OBJECTIVE: The study's objective was to examine the percentage of patients with an initial antiobesity medication (AOM) fill who were persistent with AOM at 3, 6, and 12 months and to characterize factors associated with persistence at 12 months. MET…
