A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
The prevalence of obesity worldwide has increased in recent decades not only among adults, but also in children and adolescents. This phenomenon contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), also after the adjustment for conventi…
Obesity is a chronic disease with high prevalence and associated comorbidities, making it a growing global concern. These comorbidities include type 2 diabetes, hypertension, ventilatory dysfunction, arthrosis, venous and lymphatic circulation diseas…
Under the guideline issued by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ANDAs for Certain Highly Purified Synthetic Peptide Drug Products That Refer to Listed Drugs of rDNA Origin Guidance for Industry, a synthetic Semaglutide that is intended to be a "gen…
Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease for which treatment remains challenging. While the cornerstone treatment is lifestyle modification, the addition of anti-obesity medications leads to greater weight reduction. In cases where monotherapy wit…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This report will review existing literature on weight loss outcomes for various anti-obesity medications (AOMs) as well as their effects on human fertility, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. RECENT FINDINGS: There is a paucity of resear…
INTRODUCTION: A post hoc analysis of the PIONEER 1-5 and 8 trials assessed the clinically relevant composite endpoints of HbA(glycated haemoglobin) reduction ≥ 1% and body weight loss of ≥ 5% or ≥ 10% with orally administered semaglutide versus compa…
RATIONALE: Obesity and diabetes of different types are considered global health risks with rising prevalence. In addition to low-calorie diet and daily exercise, several treatment options have been introduced to help patient in needs. Semaglutide (Oz…
INTRODUCTION: Oral semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) class of antidiabetic medication. High costs and GI side effects are the major limitations of its widespread use. Some patients who were on a 14 mg dose of oral se…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are approved for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, and some are recommended for cardiorenal risk reduction in T2D. To enhance the benefits with GLP-RA mono-ago…
AIM: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 24 weeks of semaglutide treatment in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). METHODS: PubMed,…
AIM: To evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of once-weekly semaglutide 1 mg versus insulin aspart in the UK. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Long-term outcomes were projected over patients' lifetimes using the IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model (vers 9.0). SUSTA…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Obesity trends and metabolic dysregulation are rising in people living with HIV using antiretrovirals (ARVs). Underlying causes and preventive strategies are being investigated. Two glucagon like-peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists,…
This study analyzes the most relevant authors, sources, cooccurrence of keywords, thematic map, and trend topics of the most recent and most cited research papers on semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA). Also, the conten…
IMPORTANCE: Obesity affects approximately 42% of US adults and is associated with increased rates of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, sleep disorders, osteoarthritis, and premature death. OBSERVATIONS: A body mass index (BMI) of…
Based on the 4D label-free phosphoproteomic technique, we examined the differences in cognitive function and hippocampal phosphorylated protein expression in high-fat diet-induced obese mice after the intervention of semaglutide and empagliflozin, as…
OBJECTIVE: Higher doses of the glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists liraglutide and, more recently, semaglutide have demonstrated a significant reduction in body weight. However, their comparative value for money for this indication is unclear. METHODS:…
Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is a prevalent metabolic complication among patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes, associated with bad prognosis. Classical antidiabetics have little effects on this complication, except pioglitazo…
