A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
IMPORTANCE: Obesity, a chronic disease with escalating global prevalence, poses considerable health risks. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), including liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, have demonstrated efficacy for weigh…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), has demonstrated cardiovascular and glycemic benefits. However, its influence on surgical outcomes, particularly spinal fusi…
BackgroundAlmost half of the dementia cases are preventable. Semaglutide treats several medical conditions that are risk factors for dementia.ObjectiveWe aim to investigate if semaglutide is associated with a decreased risk of dementia.MethodsWe cond…
BACKGROUND: The treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is still a challenge. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are attractive options, since they effectively reduce weight and improve blood gl…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify clinical predictors associated with reductions in HbA1c and weight among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with semaglutide in real-world clinical settings in Bulgaria. METHODS: A retrospect…
INTRODUCTION: Weight gain has come to define the life experience of many individuals with schizophrenia and other severe enduring mental illnesses (SMI). In this clinical intervention study, we aimed to determine whether weekly treatment with the glu…
BACKGROUND: No head-to-head comparisons of semaglutide formulations currently exist in the literature. In practice, many may think that oral and injectable semaglutide formulations are interchangeable, although there is currently limited real-world d…
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) because of their glucose-lowering and cardioprotective effects. However, euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) is an uncommon but serious a…
The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes presents a major global health challenge. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists offer glycemic control, weight loss, and cardiovascular benefits but are limited by rapid enzymatic degradation a…
Obesity is heterogeneous and considered a chronic epidemic with significant un-met needs for management, treatment, and prevention.In this study, we used LizAI's software TAITAN (alpha version) for the mega-collection and analysis of clinical data fr…
CagriSema is a combination of amylin (cagrilintide) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (semaglutide) analogues being developed for weight management. Here, we show that CagriSema blunts metabolic adaptation in rats. Quantifying CagriSema's action on energy…
CONTEXT: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 (GIP/GLP1) receptor agonist, was recently approved for type 2 diabetes and weight management. Alström syndrome (AS) is a rare, genetic, multisystemic disord…
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive liver disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality, yet management options remain limited. Although glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists such as…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are essential for treating type 2 diabetes and promoting weight loss. Despite their therapeutic benefits, concerns have arisen regarding their potential association with pancreatic and thyroid cancers…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-metabolic disorder in reproductive-aged women, often associated with obesity and dyslipidemia. Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), improves glycemic control and weight, but its effe…
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…
INTRODUCTION: Sphingolipid metabolism has been implicated in many diseases including cancer, pathologic inflammation, viral infection, neurologic pathologies and metabolic pathologies, including obesity and diabetes. We have previously shown that opa…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide has demonstrated cardiovascular benefits in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Inflammation plays a well-documented role in atherosclerosis and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, like…
The 2025 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) showcased advances in understanding neuropsychiatric complications among people with HIV (PWH). This review synthesizes key findings related to central nervous system (CNS) reser…
