A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND: Obesity leads to both heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and to chronic kidney disease (CKD); CKD may both influence the clinical course of obesity-related HFpEF; and incretin-based drugs may influence renal function…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes key findings from cardiovascular disease prevention studies presented at the 2025 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Conference. It highlights trials on novel therapies, vaccination, blood pressure manageme…
A one-step mono-esterification method for long-chain dicarboxylic fatty acids [HOC(CH)COH;≥ 14] was developed using TFAA (trifluoroacetic anhydride) and LiCl as esterification reagents. This approach was particularly effective for synthesizing mono-b…
INTRODUCTION: The exponential increase in obesity is responsible for the increased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Weight loss is critical to improvement in OSA. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) agonism-based therapies (GLP1RA-B…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1) agonists have been traditionally used in the treatment of type II diabetes. However, in recent times they have become a cornerstone in the pharmacological management of weight loss, and their use is increasing…
Tirzepatide is a novel drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic weight management, and there is an urgent need to explore its safety profile. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database provides a reliable pathway fo…
Obesity remains a critical global health issue with profound medical and economic implications. While injectable medications such as semaglutide (Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Zepbound®) have demonstrated significant efficacy, the development of novel or…
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the real-world impact of incretin-based obesity medications Semaglutide and Tirzepatide on body composition in people with obesity. The primary outcomes included changes in weight, waist circumference, skeletal muscle…
INTRODUCTION: Early treatment of obesity is essential and requires proactive engagement from healthcare providers. A 2022 survey among the members of the Italian Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AME) revealed that they often did not address…
Triple activation of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R), the GIP receptor (GIPR), and the glucagon receptor (GCGR) is an innovative strategy for treating obesity and diabetes. We report the rational design of triple GLP-1R/GCGR/GIPR agonis…
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic the actions of GLP-1 and are used to manage type 2 diabetes and help with weight loss. In recent times, antidiabetic GLP-1 receptor agonists have been misused widely for weight loss. This review article focuses on some s…
Obesity and diabetes are two faces of the same coin, as both disorders are characterized by insulin action defects. The two gut-derived incretin hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), play a…
Obesity is a chronic disease with multiple causes and serious complications. Treatments include lifestyle modifications and, for severe cases, medication. Today, molecules such as liraglutide and semaglutide are showing promising results in terms of…
Diabetes mellitus is an increasingly common long-term metabolic disease. There are many treatment options available to manage type 2 diabetes and reduce the risk of associated long-term microvascular and macrovascular complications. The management of…
