A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is prevalent in women and men with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Sex-based differences exist in its epidemiology, clinical presentation, functional impact, outcomes, and potentially in responses to treatments. Rec…
The aim was to assess the impact of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) treatment on the progression of ascending aorta dilatation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 127 T2DM patients with subclinical ascend…
AIMS: This umbrella review synthesized evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the effectiveness of interventions for preventing adverse outcomes in individuals with prediabetes. METHODS: A…
BACKGROUND: Reduction of premature death and adverse cardiovascular outcomes is a key goal in type 2 diabetes management. OBJECTIVE: To compare mortality and cardiovascular event risks in patients treated with semaglutide versus empagliflozin and, se…
This report explores the potential role of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists in minimizing the metabolic side effects of psychotropic medications in patients with underlying type 2 diabetes (T2D) in inpatient psychiatric settings. The…
INTRODUCTION: Two phase 3 randomized controlled studies (ADJUNCT ONE (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01836523), ADJUNCT TWO (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02098395)) evaluated liraglutide (1.8, 1.2 or 0.6 mg) vs placebo in participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) reduces systemic and gut inflammation. Here we assessed whether gain or loss of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) signaling modifies the extent of gut injury and inflammation in experimental murine acute graft vs. hos…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have recently emerged as powerful tools for the treatment of obesity through their ability to suppress food intake. However, their effects on non-ingestive motivated behaviors remain incompletely und…
OBJECTIVE: In order to investigate whether a central nervous system penetrant anti-inflammatory could augment or sustain obesity treatment with semaglutide (Wegovy), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, we tested two hypotheses in mod…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists delay gastric emptying and are used for the treatment of diabetes (DM) and obesity. Successful treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection depends upon a precise dosing schedule…
BACKGROUND: This study seeks to compare the effectiveness of Semaglutide compared to Liraglutide, Dulaglutide, or Tirzepatide. Additionally, it aims to investigate the implications of transitioning from Dulaglutide or Liraglutide to Semaglutide. METH…
INTRODUCTION: Given the global increase in obesity prevalence, there has been an emergence of a multitude of treatment options, specifically less invasive operations, like intragastric balloons, and pharmaceutical treatments like semaglutide. The aim…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, medications commonly employed in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, have illustrated several additional benefits, including weight loss and potentially reduce addictive cravings. Several stud…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) exert cardiovascular benefits in diabetic patients, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Semaglutide, a novel long-acting GLP-1RA, has shown a reduc…
