AIMS/INTRODUCTION: The etiology and treatment of type 2 diabetes might differ between specific populations. This post-hoc exploratory analysis assessed the efficacy and safety of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide vs comparators in Japanese individ…
OBJECTIVE: Although the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been extensively studied, the role of its underlying pathogenesis remains unclear, and there is currently no approved therapeutic strategy for NAFLD. The purpose of…
IMPORTANCE: Limited evidence is available on the comparative effectiveness of empagliflozin vs alternative second-line glucose-lowering agents in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) receiving routine care who have a broad spectrum of cardiorenal risk…
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Pharmacological management of obesity improves outcomes and decreases the risk of obesity-related complications. This American Gastroenterological Association guideline is intended to support practitioners in decisions about pharma…
Obesity is a recently defined illness whose diagnosis and treatment continue to be stigmatized. Currently, due to lifestyle changes brought on by technological advancements and the wide availability and affordability of high-calorie foods, millions o…
Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease, and about 30-40% of patients with diabetes will develop kidney disease. Incretin hormones have received attention during the past three decades not only as a pharmacotherapy for the tr…
The World Health Organization (WHO) refers to obesity as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a health risk. Obesity was first designated as a disease in 2012 and since then the cost and the burden of the disease have witnessed a worr…
Much remains unknown about the role of added sugar in relation to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the relative contributions of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) or artificially sweetened beverages (ASB) to CVD risk. Among the 109,034 women who partic…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Semaglutide on skeletal muscle and its metabolomics. METHODS: A total of 18 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control (NC) group, high-fat diet (HFD) group and HFD+Semaglutide g…
In light of clinical trials comparing different doses of tirzepatide with selective glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) or insulin analogue, a bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of tirze…
BACKGROUND: A once-weekly, 2.4-mg dose of subcutaneous semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is used to treat obesity in adults, but assessment of the drug in adolescents has been lacking. METHODS: In this double-blind, parallel-gr…
BACKGROUND: Semaglutide was approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic weight management in obesity or overweight adults. However, real-world data regarding its long-term gastrointestinal safety and tolerability in large sa…
OBJECTIVE: Obesity and its associated comorbidities represent a global health challenge with a need for well-tolerated, effective, and mechanistically diverse pharmaceutical interventions. Oxyntomodulin is a gut peptide that activates the glucagon re…
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is commonly observed in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, may have a therapeutic role by targeting common mechanisms involved in the path…
The objective of this article is to review the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide and discuss its potential role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Tirzepatide is a novel once-weekly dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist which has been studied in the…
GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits, but the relationship between GLP-1RA and tumors is controversial. Recently, clinical trials reported higher rates of malignancy with semaglutide than control group. As real-…
PURPOSE: Semaglutide, a new long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, has shown benefits for renal diseases, but its direct role on kidney metabolism under obesity remains unclear. The study aims to elucidate the protective effect and metabolic m…
OBJECTIVE: Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is one of the two major incretin factors that regulate metabolic homeostasis. Genetic ablation of its receptor (GIPR) in mice confers protection against diet-induced obesity (DIO), while G…
BACKGROUND: The once-daily glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogue, liraglutide has been shown to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The once-weekly GLP-1 analogue, semaglutide also red…
