Prioritizing obesity treatment: expanding the role of cardiologists to improve cardiovascular health and outcomes
s for obesity, which are associated with numerous health benefits. Modest weight reductions of 5-10% improve cardiovascular risk factors, with greater weight loss bringing about greater benefits. Anti-obesity medications can...
Relevance: There are several treatment options for obesity, which are associated with numerous health benefits. Modest weight reductions of 5–10% improve cardiovascular risk factors, with greater weight loss bringing about greater benefits. Anti-obesity medications can support weight reduction when lifestyle modifications alone are...

Treatment with semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, improves extracellular matrix remodeling in the pancreatic islet of diet-induced obese mice

Significance: Semaglutide improved the turnover of islet heparan sulfate proteoglycans, hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, and collagens in the islet ECM. Such changes should contribute to restoring a healthy islet functional milieu and should reduce the formation of cell-damaging amyloid deposits. Our findings also provide...

Separate and combined effects of semaglutide and empagliflozin on kidney oxygenation and perfusion in people with type 2 diabetes: a randomised trial - Diabetologia
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-023-05876-w
Aims/hypothesis Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1ras) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have shown kidney-protective effects. Improved kidney oxygenation and haemodynamic changes are suggested mechanisms; however, human data are scarce....
Conclusions/Interpretation: Our hypothesis, that semaglutide, empagliflozin or their combination improve kidney oxygenation, was rejected. On the contrary, empagliflozin induced a reduction in medullary kidney oxygenation. Semaglutide substantially reduced kidney perfusion without affecting oxygenation.

Discovery of Novel PTP1B Inhibitors with Once-Weekly Therapeutic Potential for Type 2 Diabetes: Design, Synthesis, and In Vitro and In Vivo Investigations of BimBH3 Peptide Analogues - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36749220/
Poor medication adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus has become one of the main causes of suboptimal glycemic control. Once-weekly drugs can markedly improve the convenience, adherence, and...
Conclusion: The in vivo anti-T2DM evaluation validated the once-weekly therapeutic potential of analogues 19, 26, 27, 31, and 33, which were comparable with semaglutide and therefore presented as promising drug candidates.
