A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
INTRODUCTION: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain at high cardiovascular risk after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly after myocardial infarction (MI). Evidence on the early post-ACS use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) are increasingly used for glycemic control and weight loss, but their impact on surgical wound complications remains unclear. Some studies suggest GLP-1s reduce complications such as infe…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly prescribed for type 2 diabetes in addition to other conditions such as obesity. As their use expands, understanding potential ocular safety signals is important, particularly in p…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a heterogeneous chronic disease in which eating behavior phenotypes may influence treatment response. Yet, anti-obesity medication (AOM) selection is still largely guided by anthropometric and metabolic parameters, with limited…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s), including semaglutide and tirzepatide, are rapidly transforming weight management practices and public discourse surrounding bodies, health, and responsibility. Although biomedical outcomes of GLP-1…
Glucocorticosteroids (GCs) are commonly used in the treatment of autoimmune, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Although clinically effective, they are associated with significant metabolic side effects, including increased insulin resistance, imp…
Numerous treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) have been developed, but none of them have been clinically approved except for resmetirom and semaglutide. One of the most promising drugs targets peroxisome proliferator…
Background and AimEmerging evidence suggests that weight loss associated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may be in part attributable to changes in lean mass, which has potential clinical implications. This study evaluates t…
BACKGROUND: The comparative cardiovascular (CV) efficacy and safety of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and established cardiovascular disease (CVD) or high CV risk remain uncertain. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, W…
Obesity is widespread in the U.S., and off-label use of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic for weight loss is rising. This study applies the Health Belief Model to analyze electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) on social media related to GLP-1 medications and p…
BACKGROUND: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus and an important cause of end-stage renal disease. Metabolic dysfunction, albuminuria, and chronic low-grade inflammation characterize early DKD, leading t…
BACKGROUND: Novel antiobesity medications have demonstrated significant weight loss in clinical trials. Data on real-world use of semaglutide are lacking. Such data are vital to inform health benefit design of this and other costly incretin mimetics,…
INTRODUCTION: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has gained increasing popularity for managing both type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. However, as its use increases, new adverse events are emerging. This case report presents…
Liquid buffer pH influences the peptide higher order structure (HOS), including oligomerization, with important implications for peptide drug formulation development and stability control. Although dynamic light scattering (DLS) and diffusion-ordered…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have transformed the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and cardiometabolic disease by improving glycemic control, promoting clinically meaningful weight loss, and reducing major adverse…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: : Semaglutide is associated with gastroduodenal symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting. This pilot study used body surface gastric mapping (BSGM) to measure the effect of semaglutide on gastric function and associated symptoms. METHOD…
AIMS: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of GLP-1RAs on functional walking distance and the risk of major adverse limb events (MALE) or lower extremity amputation (LEA) in people with type 2 diabetes and pe…
