INTRODUCTION: Semaglutide is increasingly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, overweight and other conditions. It is well known that semaglutide lowers blood glucose levels and leads to significant weight loss. Still, a systematic rev…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), currently marketed for type 2 diabetes and obesity, may offer novel mechanisms to delay or prevent neurotoxicity associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The impact of semaglutide…
Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. It was the first GLP-1 receptor agonist to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency…
Activating the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor by oral nucleic acid delivery would be a promising treatment strategy against hyperglycemia due to its various therapeutic actions. However, GLP-1 receptor agonists are effective only in subcuta…
BACKGROUND: More women than men have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess baseline characteristics and treatment effect of semaglutide by sex across the STEP-HFpEF (Research Study…
BACKGROUND: In the Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with obesity and HFpEF (STEP-HFpEF) program, semaglutide improved heart failure (HF)-related symptoms, physical limitations, and exercise function, and reduced bodyweight in patients with obes…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs), originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, have attracted attention for their potential therapeutic benefits in asthma due to their anti-inflammatory properties…
With the increase in use of GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) in the population, nuclear medicine physicians should be aware of the possibility of nondiagnostic FDG PET scans due to these medications, which work…
People with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease have a high risk for kidney failure and cardiovascular (CV) complications. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) independently reduce CV…
Semaglutide (SEM), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has garnered increasing interest for its potential therapeutic effects in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). This review provides a…
Semaglutide is found to be efficient for weight loss in patients with overweight or obesity with diabetes mellitus (DM). With a wide range of adverse events reported, the efficacy and safety of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide in individuals with…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in preventing hyperkalemia in people with ty…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is involved in a range of central and peripheral pathways related to appetitive behavior. Hence, this study explored the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) on substance and behavioral addi…
Obesity reflects excessive fat deposits. At-risk individuals are guided by healthcare professionals to eat fewer calories and exercise more, often using body mass index (BMI; weight/height) thresholds for screening and to guide progress and prognosis…
: The rise in global diabetes cases, reaching a staggering 529 million in 2021 from 108 million in 1980, underscores the urgency of addressing its complications, notably macrovascular ones like coronary artery, cerebrovascular, and peripheral artery…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a prominent cause of global mortality, primarily driven by atherosclerosis. Diabetes mellitus, as a modifiable risk factor, significantly contributes to atherogenesis. Monocyte recruitment to the intima is a criti…
