Psychotropic drug-related weight gain (PDWG) is a common occurrence and is highly associated with non-initiation, discontinuation, and dissatisfaction with psychiatric drugs. Moreover, PDWG intersects with the elevated risk for obesity and associated…
Obesity is a chronic, recurring, progressive disease and a major public health problem associated with several other diseases that lead to disability, morbidity, and mortality. The prevalence of obesity has increased at pandemic levels, along with in…
BACKGROUND: Obesity has increased in recent years with consequences on diabetes and other comorbidities. Thus, 1 out of 3 diabetic patients suffers cardiovascular disease (CVD). The network among glucose, immune system, endothelium and epicardial fat…
INTRODUCTION: Semaglutide is a high-profile glucose-lowering drug that medical decision-makers have acknowledged in recent years. This rapid review aims to provide evidence-based clinical recommendations for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus…
The limited understanding of the heterogeneity in the treatment response to antidiabetic drugs contributes to metabolic deterioration and cardiovascular complications, stressing the need for more personalized treatment. Although recent attempts have…
» Orthopaedic surgeons are increasingly likely to encounter patients with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes taking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists for weight loss.» GLP-1 agonists are an effective treatment for weight loss with semaglutide and…
Concerns over reports of suicidal ideation associated with semaglutide treatment, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) agonist medication for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obesity, has led to investigations by European regulatory agencies. In this…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a highly prevalent cause of physical disability. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are used to treat type 2 diabetes and animal studies have shown that glucagon-like peptide…
AIM: This study aimed to determine the comparative treatment effects of semaglutide 2.4 mg and placebo on health utility index scores [6-dimension short-form survey (SF-6D)] with Australian weights in full analysis set (FAS) and in post-hoc subgroups…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) regulates food intake, insulin production, and metabolism. Our recent study demonstrated that pancreatic α-cells-secreted (intraislet) GLP-1 effectively promotes maternal insulin secretion and metabolic adaptation duri…
New patients turning to semaglutide (Ozempic® and Wegovy®), a glucagon-like-peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist, for weight loss, have captivated social media platforms. Wegovy® carries a United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) appro…
Semaglutide is the first oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog commercially available for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this work, semaglutide was incorporated into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) nanoparti…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists reduce food intake, producing remarkable weight loss in overweight and obese individuals. While much of this weight loss is fat mass, there is also a loss of lean mass, similar to other app…
This communication describes a few functional seeds and spices, commonly consumed in South Asia, which may impair the absorption of drugs that are used in diabetes and medical management. The aim of this article is to highlight the possibility of the…
AIMS: To evaluate the effect of treatment with semaglutide and empagliflozin on the cortico-medullary sodium gradient (MCR; medulla/cortex ratio), urine sodium/creatinine ratio (UNACR), and estimated plasma volume (ePV) and to compare the MCR between…
Semaglutide is a well-designed drug with a special coating that allows for oral administration to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, patients taking oral semaglutide complain of its bitter taste. We therefore considered suggesting that…
