A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder defined by repeated upper airway collapse, intermittent hypoxia, and sleep disruption. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold-standard treatment of moderate-to…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to characterize changes in body weight and glycated hemoglobin (in those with prediabetes at baseline) through 12 months by obesity pharmacotherapy discontinuation status. METHODS: This retrospective cohort…
Use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 receptor agonists, initially developed as glucose-lowering therapies for the management of type 2 diabetes, continues to expand in parallel with…
BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity-chronic illnesses in which an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat mass resulting in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences-negatively impact fema…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related progressive disorder that leads to dopaminergic loss and subsequent motor dysfunction. Current therapies mainly deal with symptomatic effects, and hence, therapies targeting progressive neurodegeneration nee…
This paper explores the ethical implications of emerging weight-loss medications such as Semaglutide (Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), analysing their therapeutic applications for obesity and potential use as enhancement drugs. These medications…
Obesity confers increased risks of HF, coronary artery disease, and stroke, and weight loss can reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Given emerging evidence of the benefits of semaglutide and tirzepatide in individuals with HFpEF and obesity in concer…
Globally, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for around one-third of all deaths. Clinical trial evidence suggests that treatment of people with obesity or type 2 diabetes (T2D) and CVD with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists reduce…
BACKGROUND: Clinical trials suggest GLP-1 receptor agonists (RAs) and dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) RAs improve metabolic dysfunction associated with steatohepatitis (MASH) in patients with me…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that modulates glucose metabolism and insulin secretion. Recent translational and clinical research has evaluated the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), a class of drug…
The prevalence of obesity continues to increase worldwide. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic and other diseases, reduced quality of life and shortened life expectancy. Highly effective therapies are required to achieve m…
