Diabetic cardiomyopathy causes end-stage heart failure, resulting in high morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Long-term treatment targeting metabolism is an emerging field in the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.…
Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic syndrome, introduced by the American Heart Association in 2023, represents a complex and interconnected spectrum of diseases driven by shared pathophysiological mechanisms. However, this framework notably excludes the…
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with relapsing nature. Estimates are that approximately 2-3% of the world's population suffers from this disease. More severe forms of psoriasis are conditions of high inflammation, which is confirmed…
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an important common comorbidity in subjects with type 2 diabetes, and liver fibrosis is a factor directly related to its prognosis. Glucagon-like peptide-1 rec…
PURPOSE: The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) class of medications are widely prescribed for management of diabetes mellitus as well as obesity or weight management. Although there have been rare reports of skin hypersensitivity ass…
BACKGROUND: Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, primarily due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, leads to impaired cortisol and aldosterone production and excess adrenal androgens. Lifelong glucocorticoid therapy is required, often necessitating supra…
BACKGROUND: Multiple meta-analyses (MAs) have demonstrated that six pharmacotherapies, including orlistat, liraglutide, phentermine/topiramate, naltrexone/bupropion, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, improve weight loss and weight maintenance. However, f…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor (GLP1R) agonists have become widespread anti-obesity/diabetes pharmaceuticals in the United States. AIM: This article aimed to provide our current knowledge on the plausible mechanisms linked to the role…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of using an automatic weight management system to follow patients' response to weight reduction medications and to identify early deviations from weight trajectories. METHODS…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are commonly prescribed for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Concerns have emerged regarding their potential link to diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS: To evaluate the association between GLP-1 ag…
Tau hyper-phosphorylation has been recognized as an essential contributor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. In the last decade, tau hyper-phosphorylation has gained considerable concern in AD therapeutic develo…
BACKGROUND: The rising obesity rates in the USA have led to a surge in various weight loss treatments. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues have shown promise in reducing weight but primarily studied in Caucasian populations. Sleeve gastrectomy…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the effects of oral semaglutide on the changes in food preference of Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: This retrospective multicenter study included 75 patients with type 2 diabetes who recei…
IMPORTANCE: Obesity, a chronic disease with escalating global prevalence, poses considerable health risks. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), including liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, have demonstrated efficacy for weigh…
AIMS: The cardioprotective effects of semaglutide 2.4 mg reported in the SELECT cardiovascular (CV) outcomes trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03574597) provide clinical benefit for subjects with overweight or obesity and established CV disease without ty…
IMPORTANCE: Nearly 2% of the US population received a prescription for semaglutide in 2023. There has been a recent concern that this drug and other similar medications may be associated with ophthalmic complications. OBJECTIVE: To report ophthalmic…
The aim of the present study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of semaglutide in diabetes‑associated cognitive decline (DACD), while also exploring the underlying mechanisms targeting anti‑oxidative effects. The present study evaluated t…
