A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence on the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in heart failure. This work analyzes the efficacy of once-daily oral semaglutide in terms of health status and change in body weight in patients with heart…
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents the concurrent manifestation of multiple cardiometabolic risk factors, including visceral obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-cholesterol, cumulatively predisposing to accelerat…
IMPORTANCE: Patients with schizophrenia have reduced life expectancy due to cardiovascular disease and obesity-related type 2 diabetes, exacerbated by second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) medication. Existing interventions have shown limited effect.…
AIM: Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist for type 2 diabetes, chronic weight management and obstructive sleep apnoea (in the US). To assess the contribution of…
PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness of tirzepatide (a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist) versus semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) in improving postoperative outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing coronary artery…
OBJECTIVE: The hormone peptide YY (PYY; cleaved into Y-selective form PYY) is an attractive candidate for use as a complementary pharmacotherapy for obesity along with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. This series of studies investig…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide, a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist has shown significant promise in weight reduction and glycemic management in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Howev…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogue, is a novel medication with comparable pharmacological characteristics and has demonstrated promising weight reduction outcomes in its ant…
Background Incretin-based therapies have emerged as effective strategies for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are among the most promising agents. Real-world data in Bangladesh on their efficacy, lif…
BACKGROUND: Oral semaglutide at a dose of 25 mg may provide an alternative treatment option to injectable semaglutide (2.4 mg) and higher-dose oral semaglutide (50 mg) for persons with overweight or obesity. METHODS: In a 71-week, double-blind, rando…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) administration has been associated with neuroprotective effects in neurodegenerative disorders. We conducted a comprehensive synthesis of known effe…
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…
BACKGROUND: The role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) in patients with weight regain after bariatric surgery remains unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of 12 months of GLP1-RA treatmen…
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog, extends its half-life by reversibly binding to human serum albumin (HSA). To investigate binding interactions at various fatty acid sites, we performed 1.5 μs conventional molecular dynamics (cMD…
Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder with limited therapeutic options. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, primarily used for diabetes and obesity, have emerging evidence of anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects…
