Relevance: Two new drugs for treating obesity are on course to become available in the next few years — and they offer advantages beyond those of the highly effective blockbuster drugs already on the market. The first, called orforglipron, is easier to use and to produce, and it will probably be cheaper than existing treatments. The second,...
The Role of GLP1-RAs in Direct Modulation of Lipid Metabolism in Hepatic Tissue as Determined Using In Vitro Models of NAFLD - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37367037/
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have been shown to improve glucose and lipid homeostasis, promote weight loss, and reduce cardiovascular risk factors. They are a promising therapeutic option for...
Conclusions/Relevance: Most recent clinical trials have suggested the importance of early pharmacologic intervention with GLP-1RAs in alleviating and limiting NAFLD, as well as highlighting the relative scarcity of in vitro studies on semaglutide, indicating the need for further research. However, extra-hepatic factors contribute to the...
Administration errors of compounded semaglutide reported to a poison control center - case series - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37392810/
These three semaglutide cases highlight the potential for patient harm given current practices. Vials of compounded semaglutide do not employ safety features provided by pre-filled manufactured pens and allow for...
Objectives: We aim to increase pharmacists’ and regulatory agencies’ awareness of emerging issues regarding current practices of semaglutide use in the community which has led to increased reports of administration errors and adverse drug events to our regional poison control center.
Conclusions/Relevance: This case highlights the need for access to affirming weight management services for TGD patients pursuing GAS and the role of antiobesity medications in reaching presurgical BMI targets. Further studies should evaluate the needs of TGD patients in weight loss interventions and the effects of weight loss and antiobesity...
Interpretation: In adults with overweight or obesity without type 2 diabetes, oral semaglutide 50 mg once per day led to a superior and clinically meaningful decrease in bodyweight compared with placebo.
Interpretation: In this phase 2 trial the novel, oral, non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist orforglipron at doses of 12 mg or greater showed significant reductions in HbA1c and bodyweight compared with placebo or dulaglutide. The adverse event profile was similar to other GLP-1 receptor agonists in similar stage of development. Orforglipron...

Conclusion: Theoretical considerations and a few available clinical observations support semaglutide and liraglutide prescription in people with HIV, with, thus far, no indications of concern regarding efficacy, safety or pharmacological interactions with ARVs.
Perspectives in weight control in diabetes - BI 456906 - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37330144/
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are approved treatments for Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with liraglutide and semaglutide also approved for the treatment of obesity. The natural gut hormone oxyntomodulin is...
Conclusions/Relevance: These data highlight the potential of dual GCGR/GLP-1R agonism for reducing glycated haemoglobin and body weight in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and for greater therapeutic efficacy compared with GLP-1R agonism alone.
Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Youth - PubMed

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have gained traction for the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Unlike several classes of antidiabetic medications that contribute to weight gain, GLP-1RAs not...
Conclusions/Relevance: The outcomes of paediatric trials evaluating liraglutide, exenatide, semaglutide and dulaglutide in paediatric type 2 diabetes and obesity will be closely examined, including differences compared with adult studies. Finally, potential barriers and strategies to expanding GLP-1RA access in adolescents will be discussed....
Efficacy and safety of tirzepatide for treatment of overweight or obesity. A systematic review and meta-analysis - International Journal of Obesity
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-023-01321-5
Recent studies suggest that tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic-peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), has significant weight loss effects. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess...
Conclusion: Tirzepatide has significant potential as a weight loss drug in patients with overweight and obesity, with little increase in AEs compared to other weight loss drugs. With its ability to concurrently target multiple aspects of metabolic syndrome, it should be considered as the next helm of weight loss therapies.
Relevance: Can behavioral interventions designed to treat childhood obesity be delivered in pediatric primary care settings?
Role of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in Achieving Weight Loss and Improving Cardiovascular Outcomes in People With Overweight and Obesity - PubMed

Resting at the intersection of community mental health treatment and physical health promotion, this study aims to advance the use of...
Impact of short and long exposure to cafeteria diet on food intake and white adipose tissue lipolysis mediated by glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37293487/
Exposure to a CAF diet during the early stages of obesity reduces the effects of peripheral and central GLP1R agonists, and WAT does not express a functional GLP1 receptor. These...
Discussion: Exposure to a CAF diet during the early stages of obesity reduces the effects of peripheral and central GLP1R agonists, and WAT does not express a functional GLP1 receptor. These data support that exposure to the obesogenic food environment, without the development or manifestation of obesity, can alter the response to GLP1R...
