BACKGROUND: Concerns have emerged regarding the oncogenic potential of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, particularly in relation to gynecologic malignancies. To date, no consens…
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), the visceral fat of the heart, is highly inflammatory fat depot with pro-inflammatory transcriptome and proteosome. EAT contributes to the development and progression of coronary artery disease…
: Since the introduction of the first GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in 2005, there has been a steady increase in the number of drugs available in this group, as well as an expansion of their indications and routes of administration.: The aim of t…
BACKGROUND: Although glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have gained attention for their broad therapeutic effects, their influence on hematologic malignancy remains underexplored. G…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have demonstrated significant cardiometabolic benefits, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Their role in heart failure (HF) is gaining increasing attention, with growing evi…
: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and chronic hyperglycemia. Recent studies have identified microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs that reg…
Therapeutic proteins and peptides have revolutionized modern biomedicine, but their oral delivery is limited by gastrointestinal degradation and barriers. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), which are resistant to biochemical degradation and capable…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a risk factor for relapsing inflammatory bowel disease. GLP-1 and dual GLP-1/GIP agonists may offer superior weight loss; however, their effect on inflammatory bowel disease remains unknown. In this study, we assessed…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, including tirzepatide, are increasingly prescribed for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Amid safety concerns raised by regulatory agencies regarding potential associations with suici…
With obesity affecting over 40% of U.S. adults, bariatric surgery (BS) has become a cornerstone treatment, leading to massive weight loss (MWL) but also significant nutritional challenges. As demand for body contouring surgery (BCS) grows among post-…
BACKGROUND: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with obesity and metabolic dysregulation. Current therapies yield variable benefits and do not target metabolic drivers. Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor ago…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite multiple antihypertensive therapies, blood pressure (BP) control remains suboptimal in many individuals with persistent cardiovascular risk. Thi…
Type 2 diabetes and obesity drive significant morbidity, mortality, and health care costs in the United States. Clinicians increasingly prescribe glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) and dual GLP1 and glucose-dependent insulino…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an incretin hormone, plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis by stimulating insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, and delaying gastric emptying. Its therapeutic potential was long realized, leading to t…
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…
We appreciate the thoughtful commentary by Drs. Dziewierz and Siudak regarding our study comparing tirzepatide versus semaglutide in post-CABG diabetic patients. While we acknowledge the inherent limitations of observational research, our propensity…
Fifteen to forty% of patients experience recurrent weight gain (RWG) after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). Glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are effective treatments for obesity in nonsurgical patients. To assess the effects of s…
This review provides a comprehensive examination of the clinical pharmacological mechanisms and broad therapeutic applications of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual receptor agonists targeting both glucagon-like peptide-1 (…
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…
