BACKGROUND Although hypomagnesemia is common in type 2 diabetes, clinical presentations with severe hypomagnesemia are rare. A number of oral blood glucose-lowering medications can reduce serum magnesium concentrations, and several severe cases have…
Type 1 diabetes is associated with excess cardiovascular risk, even after accounting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, including glycaemia. Hence, there is an urgent need to document the metabolic abnormalities that contribute to the cardi…
Menopause is a complex period in women's life, when weight gain and predisposition to obesity are frequent. Moreover, even during menopause transition, women begin to lose lean mass up to 0.5% and, therefore, an increase in the percentage of fat mass…

BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity-chronic illnesses in which an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat mass resulting in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences-negatively impact fema…
AIMS: To explore the relationship between weight loss and insulin sensitivity in response to tirzepatide or semaglutide. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a post hoc exploratory analysis of a 28-week, double-blind, randomized trial in people with t…
Ozempic and related semaglutide drugs represent a popular new strategy to address obesity in the United States, yet uptake of these medications has sparked opposition highlighting concerns about off-label drug use policies, drug safety, supply shorta…
INTRODUCTION: The progression of diabetes status in post-stroke patients remains under-investigated, particularly regarding new treatments for type II diabetes mellitus (DM II), like glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RA) and sodium-glu…
PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the possible impacts of fasting on physical activity and weight loss in adult users of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, specifically semaglutide and tirzepatide, using qualitative methods to gain in-de…
BACKGROUND: Randomized clinical trials have shown that semaglutide is associated with a clinically relevant reduction in body weight and a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular events in those who are overweight or obese with a history of cardiovascul…
INTRODUCTION: Clinical trials have shown efficacy of semaglutide for weight loss, but further study is needed in less controlled environments including impacts on body composition. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included individuals…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, such as exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), albiglutide (Tanzeum), dulaglutide (Trulicity), lixisenatide (Lyxumia, Adlyxin), semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy), and ti…
BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a strong pathophysiological interrelationship, and their combination worsens prognosis. SUMMARY: This article briefly reviews the bidirectional e…
INTRODUCTION: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a massive burden for the individual, relatives and society. Despite this, the treatment gap is wide compared with other mental health disorders. Treatment options are sparse, with only three Food and Drug A…
BACKGROUND: Disease-modifying therapies targeting the diverse pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including neuroinflammation, represent potentially important and novel approaches. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide is…
The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of semaglutide and dulaglutide for glycemic control and weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A thorough literature search was conducted using…
PURPOSE: To report data on the real-world effectiveness and safety of injectable (IS) and oral (OS) therapies in obese or overweight diabetes (T2DM) patients on glycometabolic control, weight loss (WL) and weight maintenance after the use of semaglut…
AIM: This real-world, retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral semaglutide-the first GLP-1 receptor agonist available in oral form-in patients aged 65 years and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM…
