BACKGROUND: Cocaine use disorder (CUD) remains among the most treatment-resistant addictions, characterised by high relapse rates even following extended abstinence periods. Dopamine signalling in mesocorticolimbic circuits contributes to cocaine's r…
PURPOSE: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition often linked with metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance. Antidiabetic medications have been explored as adjunctive therapies due to their anti-inflammatory and ant…
BACKGROUND: Lipodystrophy syndromes (LD) are a group of rare conditions characterised by the generalised or partial absence and/or dysfunction of adipocytes. Due to the lack of fat storage capacity, excess lipid accumulates in other tissues, leading…
Tirzepatide has demonstrated cardiometabolic benefits in clinical trials, but real-world cardiovascular outcomes among patients without diabetes following acute cardiovascular events or stroke remain understudied. We evaluated clinical outcomes assoc…
Tirzepatide is a novel antidiabetic agent with strong blood-glucose-lowering and body-weight-reducing effects. However, 14% of the patients treated with tirzepatide experienced appetite loss. The incidence of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) h…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is increasingly used for obesity treatment, including in individuals without diabetes. Starvation ketoacidosis is a rare but se…
OBJECTIVES: Obesity management has limited oral pharmacotherapies. Bitter taste receptor (TAS2R) agonists may modulate hunger, satiety, and metabolism via gut-brain signaling. We evaluated denatonium acetate (DA), a gut-restricted TAS2R agonist, acro…
AIMS: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) commonly coexist and are associated with poor outcomes. Although injectable semaglutide has demonstrated benefits in HFpEF, the effectiveness of oral semaglutide i…
AIMS: To assess the real-world effectiveness of semaglutide versus tirzepatide in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients with overweight/obesity and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) without diabet…
INTRODUCTION: With the growing use of GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist medications, their impact on dietary intake and quality remains unclear. This systematic review examined how randomized controlled trials (RCT) prescribing liraglutide, semaglutide, or…
Obesity is a chronic, debilitating condition with complex biological, psychosocial, and behavioral underpinnings. While the cardiometabolic consequences are reasonably well-established, the often-forgotten bidirectional association between obesity an…
INTRODUCTION: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular (CV) disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) drive excess morbidity and mortality. Beyond glucose-lowering, incretin-based therapies may provide organ protection across t…
Semaglutide is an anti-obesity and anti-diabetic drug used in long-term weight management and for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. A toxicology study was conducted on a generic synthetic version of Semaglutide Injection (2 mg/3 mL) produced by Bioco…
BACKGROUND: Liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide have transformed the management of obesity. However, dose-related gastrointestinal effects, obesity-associated nutritional insufficiencies, and poor long-term adherence may limit their long-term he…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist use and interest in using medications for weight loss among adults (≥ 18 years) in Great Britain. METHODS: Nationally representative household s…
Next-generation incretin therapies, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, have transformed obesity and Type 2 diabetes management. However, evidence-based nutritional strategies to support safe and effective use of these agents remain limited. To ad…
