A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 agents produce substantial, sustained weight loss primarily by suppressing appetite and lowering ad libitum energy intake. While fa…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists in the treatment of obesity among children and adolescents. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trial…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are widely used for the management of obesity; however, respiratory complications are rarely documented. A 40-year-old person without diabetes with obesity (body mass index [BMI] 36 kg/m) developed ex…
Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, improves metabolic health and reduces liver fat in people with HIV (PWH) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This post hoc analysis of the 24-week SLIM LIVER single-arm trial (A…
A sixty-five-year-old white woman with obesity class II, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and pre-diabetes was started on subcutaneous semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), for weigh…
An important part of the field of experimental pharmacology encompasses the study of the effects of molecules in animals. In the case of Parkinson's disease (PD), animal models have played an invaluable role in refining our understanding of the disea…
BACKGROUND: Metabolic complications after kidney transplantation (KT) significantly affect graft and patient survival. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) offer cardio-renal benefits in the general population, but evidence in KT reci…
Semaglutide is an anti-obesity and anti-diabetic drug used in long-term weight management and for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. A toxicology study was conducted on a generic synthetic version of Semaglutide Injection (2 mg/3 mL) produced by Bioco…
OBJECTIVE: Early intervention in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is critical to halt disease progression. However, noninvasive tools for monitoring early-stage MASH and therapeutic efficacy in preclinical models remain limited…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a progressive condition characterized by excess hepatic fat accumulation in the absence of significant hepatocellular injury. Its more severe form, metabolic dys…
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…
BACKGROUND: The long-term glycaemic effects of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) remain unclear. We aimed to assess whether a 6-week subcutaneous infusion of GIP alone and in combination with the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide wo…
BACKGROUND: Obesity remains a major health challenge globally and in Asia, driving cardio-metabolic disease risks. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and mobile health (mHealth) coaching each demonstrate weight loss efficacy, but r…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is widely used for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Recent case reports have raised concerns about a potential association between semaglutide use and the development of no…
Tirzepatide has been approved for the management of obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes mellitus; while gastrointestinal side effects are commonly seen, ischemic colitis has been only rarely described. We present the case of a 32-ye…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), particularly semaglutide and liraglutide, have revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their potent effects on weight loss and glycemic control. However,…
PURPOSE: To identify and evaluate cardiovascular outcome trials for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) in various patient populations, including those with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). SUMMARY: A systematic search of MEDLINE ide…
AIMS: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used for metabolic disorders, but emerging safety concerns include alopecia and reproductive or endocrine-related adverse events (AEs). This study investigated the association bet…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in social communication and the presence of repetitive behaviors. The significance of the gut-brain axis in the pathogenesis of ASD often points t…
