A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) improve cardiovascular outcomes in obesity and HFpEF; however, their safety and efficacy in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remain uncertain. AIMS: We sought to eva…
AIMS: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used for metabolic disorders, but emerging safety concerns include alopecia and reproductive or endocrine-related adverse events (AEs). This study investigated the association bet…
ABSTRACT: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely prescribed for their cardiometabolic benefits, yet their hematologic oncologic sa…
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) remains a major public health problem, with few effective medications currently available. However, peptides of the gut-brain axis appear to offer promising therapeutic targets for AUD as they influence the meso…
BACKGROUND: Real-world data directly comparing the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of semaglutide and tirzepatide in patients with obesity remain limited. This nationwide multicenter observational study compared short-term adverse events, tre…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To examine the role of pharmacologic obesity treatment in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), with a focus on efficacy, safety, and clinical positioning in the context of T2D-specific metabolic and therapeutic challenges. RECENT FIN…
AIMS: Pharmacotherapy for metabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is reserved for steatohepatitis (MASH) with moderate Fibrosis Grades 2-3. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) of clinically available medications with biopsy data were eval…
INTRODUCTION: Pharmacological therapies are recommended for individuals with obesity. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1), and tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and GLP-1 receptor agonist (GI…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are widely used therapies for cardiovascular risk reduction in type 2 diabetes (T2D). With the emergence of the SURPASS-CVOT trial, tirzepatide (a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist) has e…
Over the recent years, there has been a notable surge in consumer demand for rapid and effective weight-loss pharmaceuticals that are also capable of managing type 2 diabetes. Owing to their exceptional efficacy, GLP-1 receptor agonists, including Ti…
Dercum's disease (DD) is a rare chronic disorder characterized by painful subcutaneous lipomas, mostly affecting overweight or obese middle-aged women. The etiology remains unclear, and evidence for medical treatments is limited. Surgical approaches…
Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) is a rare systemic histiocytic disorder of uncertain etiology characterized by papulonodular cutaneous lesions and potentially destructive polyarthritis, with variable multisystem involvement. Owing to its low…
INTRODUCTION: Psoriasis and obesity often occur together, with up to 50% of patients with psoriasis being classified as obese. This increases systemic inflammation, cardiovascular risk, and disease severity while reducing the efficacy of biologic tre…
AIMS: Obesity is a growing global health crisis; pharmacotherapies such as tirzepatide combined with multidisciplinary lifestyle support have shown promise but real-world evidence in digital weight-loss services (DWLSs) is limited. This retrospective…
