A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Type 2 diabetes and obesity present escalating global health and economic challenges, highlighting the need for therapies that can effectively manage glycemic levels and reduce excess adiposity. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like pep…
Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is the most effective treatment for severe obesity and its metabolic complications. Currently, most MBSs are performed laparoscopically. However, high weight associated with an enlarged liver (especially the left…

: Obesity is a global health issue with profound humanistic and financial implications. Novel pharmacological treatments, such as tirzepatide and semaglutide, offer promising options for sustained weight management; however, their cost-effectiveness…
Inflamed epicardial fat (EAT) accumulation around the myocardium and coronaries is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Glucagon-like peptide receptor-agonists 1 improves the insulin response and reduces EAT thickness. We aimed to demonstrate th…
We performed a re-analysis of the gastrointestinal risks of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) in obese US adult patients without diabetes using the TriNetX database (GLP-1 RA n = 8792; Bupropion-naltrexone n = 8792) after accountin…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs), a relatively new class of drugs, are used widely in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Maintaining long-term glycemic management lowers the risk of development and progression of diabe…
PURPOSE: Proteomics was used to study the effect of semaglutide on the expression of renal protein in obese mice, and looking for proteins that could improve the prognosis of Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six…
Salcaprozate sodium (SNAC) is a clinically approved oral permeation enhancer, notably used in the formulation of oral semaglutide. Despite its pharmaceutical importance, the crystallographic information of SNAC or its free acid form, salcaprozoic aci…
OBJECTIVE: We assessed the impact of medical weight management (MWM; lifestyle modification ± obesity medications) on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) compared to metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) and usual care (UC). METHODS: We retros…
INTRODUCTION: Although the onset and progression of diabetic microvascular complications are linked to glycemic control, various antihyperglycemic drugs with distinct treatment targets may positively impact microvascular lesions beyond their glucose-…
BACKGROUND: Interim results from the ESSENCE clinical trials indicate that 72-week treatment with high-dose subcutaneous (SC) semaglutide may result in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) resolution and improvements in fibrosis. A…
IMPORTANCE: Semaglutide is a widely used treatment for diabetes and obesity, offering considerable cardiovascular benefit. However, its association with ocular adverse events remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence of eye disorders, dia…
