Effects of Semaglutide on Glycemic Control and Weight Loss in a Patient with Prader-Willi Syndrome: A Case Report - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35538810/

The beneficial effects of semaglutide on glycemic control and weight reduction provide a promising treatment for diabetes and obesity in Prader-Willi syndrome, even where other glucagons like peptide-1 receptor agonists...



Conclusions: The beneficial effects of semaglutide on glycemic control and weight reduction provide a promising treatment for diabetes and obesity in Prader-Willi syndrome, even where other glucagons like peptide-1 receptor agonists have failed. Further studies are required to confirm the efficacy and safety of semaglutide in patients with...

Efficacy of GLP-1 RA Approved for Weight Management in Patients With or Without Diabetes: A Narrative Review - PubMed

Efficacy of GLP-1 RA Approved for Weight Management in Patients With or Without Diabetes: A Narrative Review - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35503498/

The approval of once daily liraglutide, 3.0 mg, and once weekly semaglutide, 2.4 mg, for chronic weight management provides a novel effective strategy against obesity. The reliable models that might...



Relevance: We aimed to review the efficacy of GLP-1 RAs approved for weight management in individuals with and without diabetes and discuss some potential mechanisms for consistently observed differences in efficacy between these two populations.
