A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
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…
Clinically effective pharmacological treatment(s) for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its progressive form metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) represent a largely unmet need in medicine. Since…
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…
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…
INTRODUCTION: The evoke/evoke+ trials are investigating semaglutide in a population with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Specific analyses of semaglutide safety data in older adults are limited; therefore, in the current analysis, we aimed to evaluat…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are breakthrough medicines for obesity treatment and have rapidly gained widespread clinical application. Although GLP-1RAs are generally not associated with drug-drug interactions (DDI…
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…
BACKGROUND: Many patients seek body contouring surgery (BCS) to address excess skin following significant weight loss (WL), including from GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide. Optimal BCS timing is crucial, as postoperative weight fluctuation…
RATIONALE: Obesity is a complex chronic condition linked to various comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia, with a significant global burden. Standard treatments, such as diet, exercise and behavioural changes, often have li…
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analogs have significant therapeutic potential in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) but limited body weight effects in patients with MASH. This study investigated the effect of combined treatm…
OBJECTIVE: Investigate the impact and mechanism of semaglutide (Sema) combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on hepatic glucose/lipid metabolism in db/db mice using untargeted metabolomics. METHODS: Db/db mice were divided into model c…
To compare efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Electronic databases were searched from inception to 2nd October 2024 for randomised controlled trials comparing GLP-1RAs…
PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy and safety of semaglutide and liraglutide over one year in obese Polish patients with type 2 diabetes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective, observational cohort study conducted in Poland in 2024, 460 patients ag…
BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous semaglutide has shown kidney-protective effects in people with type 2 diabetes (PWT2D), but data on oral semaglutide remain limited. This multicentre real-world study evaluates the clinical effectiveness of oral semaglutide o…
BACKGROUND: Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes, increasingly linked to SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and, less frequently, GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), especially in combi…
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…
