A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complicated hormonal and metabolic disorder. The exact pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome is not clear thus far. Inflammation is involved in the progression of polycystic ovary syndrome. In addition, brown adipos…

Recent media reports commented about a possible issue of the misuse of antidiabetics related to molecules promoted as a weight-loss treatment in non-obese people. We evaluated here available pharmacovigilance misuse/abuse signals related to, a glucag…
IMPORTANCE: Antiobesity pharmacotherapy is recommended for adolescents ages 12 years and older with obesity. Several medications have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for adolescent use, but the most cost-effective medication rema…
BACKGROUND: Inflammation is a key driver of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. C-reactive protein (CRP), an established biomarker of inflammation, is commonly elevated in people with overweight/obesity. METHODS: STEP 1, 2, and 3 were 68-week, pl…
BACKGROUND: Obesity treatment based on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) proved to limit morbidity and mortality in adult population. In children, optimizing lifestyle intervention (LSI) and reducing culpable environmental exposur…
Tirzepatide is a novel once-a-week dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist that is used as an addition to diet and exercise to improve blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is the firs…
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…
PURPOSE: Despite the introduction of various pharmaceutical therapies for treating obesity, selecting the optimal treatment remains challenging for both patients and physicians. Therefore, in this network meta-analysis (NMA), we aim to simultaneously…
OBJECTIVES: Many people with type 2 diabetes experience clinical inertia, remaining in poor glycaemic control on oral glucose-lowering medications rather than intensifying treatment with a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, despite an efficaci…
PURPOSE: To quantify the preferences of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) for treatment attributes of a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) versus an injectable GLP-1 RA medication…

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most rapidly growing contributor to liver mortality and morbidity. Hepatocellular injury in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is caused by an increase in metabolic substrates (glucose, fructose, and f…
Aging is a crucial risk factor for common neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Limited options are available for the treatment of age-related, multiple pathogenic mechanism-contributed diseases th…
CONTEXT: Prior to this study, it is known that type 2 diabetes is linked to obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, leading to inadequate β-cell function and insulin resistance. Limited research has explored the metabolic effects of combining exercise tra…
Alzheimer's disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that poses a significant societal burden. Approval of anti-amyloid antibody therapies is a significant milestone for treatment that was enabled by the inclusion of biomarkers. The use of…
Clinical trials will gauge whether GLP-1 analogs curb drug and alcohol cravings.
