A group of long-acting, peptide-based, and selective GLP-1R/CCK-2R dual agonists were identified by rational design. Guided by sequence analysis, structural elements of the CCK-2R agonist moiety were engineered into the...

Lipoprotein (a) and diabetes mellitus - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35606077/

Lp(a) and diabetes are both known and established risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. However, studies trying to link both risk factors find an inverse association between Lp(a)...


Conclusion/Relevance: Only part of the observed association of Lp(a) with diabetes can likely be explained by causality and may also be driven by reverse causation, co-morbidities, or medications. Furthermore, this review also summarizes the role of Lp(a) within patients with diabetes. Several studies suggest that elevated Lp(a) is a causal...

Comparison of Beneficial Metabolic Effects of Liraglutide and Semaglutide in Male C57BL/6J Mice

Comparison of Beneficial Metabolic Effects of Liraglutide and Semaglutide in Male C57BL/6J Mice

Semaglutide and liraglutide are glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based diabetes drugs. Semaglutide possesses a longer half-life. Utilizing relatively lower doses, we compared the beneficial metabolic effects of these 2 drugs in mice...



Conclusions: Liraglutide, but not semaglutide, increased hepatic FGF21 protein level, whereas semaglutide had a greater effect on attenuating hyperleptinemia. Thus, these 2 GLP-1–based diabetes drugs may target metabolic organs, including liver and adipose tissue, with differing levels of efficacy.
