A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
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…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are widely used due to their profound efficacy in glycemic control and weight management. Real-world observations have revealed potential neuropsychiatric adverse events (AEs) associate…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists have revolutionised obesity and type 2 diabetes management through effective weight loss and metabolic regulation. However, their increasing use…
AIMS: Nearly 42% of adults in the United States have obesity, a significant risk factor for many cardiometabolic diseases and cancers. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are promising interventions for weight loss, but their efficac…
Obesity is closely linked to metabolic dysfunction and systemic low-grade inflammation. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are increasingly utilized for obesity treatment due to their significant metabolic benefits, including weight…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a slower, flexible titration regimen of semaglutide would improve adherence and reduce gastrointestinal adverse events (GI-AEs) compared with the label-recommended regimen in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEAR…
BACKGROUND: In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the popularity and use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for weight loss. As such, it is essential to understand users' real-world discussions of short-term, lo…
GLP1 agonists are the emerging fourth pillar of nephroprotection in type 2 diabetes (T2D), alongside renin-angiotensin system blockers, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, and finerenone (a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist).…
Treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires implementation of prevention and management strategies that reduce the risk of kidney failure and CKD-associated cardiovascular risk. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by obesity, hig…
BACKGROUND: The prevailing treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) is not yet satisfactory. The present investigate the neuroprotective effect of the GLP-1/GIP dual agonist tirzepatide and examine the potential mechanisms involved. METHODS: Analysis of…
Reports submitted to the FDA and EMA suggest that Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may be associated with an elevated risk of suicidality. To ascertain this association across available pharmacovigilance and cohort studies, Pubme…
Obesity is a major public health challenge in the United States, despite widespread implementation of regulated diet plans, exercise programs, behavioral interventions, and surgical procedures. The emergence of incretin-based therapies, particularly…
OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) and treatment currently U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved to reduce worsening of kidney disease and kidney failure may protect against…
This systematic review evaluates the cardiovascular effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, or hea…
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…
