Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are approved treatments for Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with liraglutide and semaglutide also approved for the treatment of obesity. The natural gut hormone oxyntomodulin is a weak dual agonist of the…
OBJECTIVE: This is a narrative review of incretin analogs and their effect on weight management in adult without diabetes. DATA SOURCES: Randomized controlled trials were identified by English language. PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase databases we…
PURPOSE: Collateral drug benefits are hitherto unknown beneficial effects that might lead to repurposing of already marketed drugs. A randomized controlled trial has found liraglutide to be non-inferior to colesevelam in reducing bile acid diarrhea.…
CONTEXT: Efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, a once-weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, have been studied in patients with type 2 diabetes in the global phase 3 SURPASS program. OBJECTIVE:…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading global cause of death, with preventable risk factors like obesity contributing most to it. Obesity's association with CVD originate from factors like inflammation, insulin resistance, and altered lipid profil…
AIM: To investigate whether combined treatment with empagliflozin (a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor) and semaglutide (a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist) can reduce urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) compared to treatment with…
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading etiology of blindness in the working population of the USA. Its long-term management relies on effective glycemic control. Seven anti-diabetic classes have been introduced for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is defined as excess adipose tissue causing a deterioration in health, but diagnosing the causes and deciding on treatment can be challenging. Several randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) have demonstrated the effectiveness…
Obesity and overweight are the major risk factors for numerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of death worldwide. The prevalence of obesity has dramatically risen in…
Metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, hyperlipidemia, and obesity commonly co-occur but clinical treatment options do not effectively target all disorders. Calorie restriction, semaglutide, rosiglitazone, and mitochondrial…
AIM: Earlier studies have shown that peptide glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists with reduced β-arrestin recruitment show enhanced anti-hyperglycaemic efficacy through avoidance of GLP-1R desensitization. However, the ligand modificati…
BACKGROUND: Recent Food and Drug Administration approvals of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists linked to substantial weight loss have generated interest in demand projections. However, a longitudinal analysis in a large, diverse, curr…
AIM: To compare the proportion of participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with once-weekly (OW) subcutaneous (SC) semaglutide versus comparators who achieved a composite metabolic endpoint. MATERIALS AND METHODS: SUSTAIN 1-5, 7-10 and SUSTAIN…
AIM: To compare the therapeutic effects of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/ glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) or GLP-1RAs in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We systematically…
OBJECTIVE: Podocytes are closely related to renal function as an important part of the glomerulus. The reduction and damage of podocytes lead to further decline of renal function and aggravate the progression of DKD. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor…
AIMS: To evaluate gastrointestinal adverse events (AEs) and the impact of nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea (N/V/D) and any gastrointestinal (GI) AEs overall on weight change with tirzepatide across the SURPASS-1 to -5 clinical trials. MATERIALS AND METH…
AIM: This study compared the 5-year incidence rate of macrovascular and microvascular complications for tirzepatide, semaglutide and insulin glargine in individuals with type 2 diabetes, using the Building, Relating, Assessing, and Validating Outcome…
