BACKGROUND: GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have been shown to improve glycemic control and insulin sensitivity and reduce body weight in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). This trial sought to evaluate the therapeutic effect of…
: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are a novel class of incretin mimetics for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study evaluated the impact of semaglutide, the first oral GLP-1RA, on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma…
The effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists on calcium homeostasis is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between GLP-1R agonist use and the risk of hypocalcemia and/or hypercalcemia, as well as oth…
PURPOSE: Sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate (SNAC) is a well-known penetration enhancer widely used in commercial applications. This study aims to broaden its properties through a novel strategy of converting it into its phenolate salts. T…
Obesity is an epidemic worldwide. Overweight and multiple obesity-related mechanisms, including dysmetabolic alterations, contribute to cardiovascular deleterious effects. Hence, overweight and obesity have been independently associated with increase…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs) approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at doses up to 1 mg. The results from randomized control trials and real-world studies revealed that week…
PURPOSE: This manuscript explores the potential of dual glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists combined with degludec basal insulin as a treatment approach for early type 1 diabetes. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and mechanistic impact of…
OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. It imposes an enormous symptomatic burden on patients, leaving many with residual disease despite optimal procedural therapy, and up to 1/3 with debilitating angina ame…
Cilofexor, an oral farnesoid X receptor agonist, and firsocostat, an oral, liver-targeted inhibitor of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase, are being investigated in combination with semaglutide for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatoh…
OBJECTIVES: The current study aims to investigate the impact of the GLP1 analog (semaglutide) and SGLT2 inhibitor (dapagliflozin) on nerve functions, morphology, and the underlying mechanisms involving nerve growth factor (NGF)/synaptophysin and Nrf2…
OBJECTIVE: The development of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity has been accompanied by evidence for anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective actions in the heart, blood vessels, kidney, a…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing semaglutide reported reductions of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in trial populations with baseline blood pressure in the normotensive range. This study aimed to determine whether this…
BACKGROUND: People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for heart failure (HF) and premature death from cardiovascular (CV) causes. The FLOW (Research Study To See How Semaglutide Works Compared to Placebo in P…
BACKGROUND: Patients with overweight and obesity are at increased risk of death from multiple causes, including cardiovascular (CV) death, with few therapies proven to reduce the risk. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the effect of semaglutide…
BACKGROUND: Inflammation is thought to be an important mechanism for the development and progression of obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In the STEP-HFpEF Program, once-weekly 2.4 mg semaglutide improved heart f…
