Leptin and leptin resistance in obesity: current evidence, mechanisms and future directions - PubMed

Leptin and leptin resistance in obesity: current evidence, mechanisms and future directions - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40932169/

Leptin, a key adipokine regulating energy homeostasis, has been extensively studied for its potential in the management of obesity. However, its therapeutic efficacy is often limited due to leptin resistance....

This review examines leptin biology and mechanisms of leptin resistance in obesity, highlighting impaired signaling pathways, inflammation, and hyperleptinemia while discussing emerging strategies including leptin sensitization, combination therapies, and MC4R agonists.

Is there a link between cholesterol-lowering medications and atopic dermatitis? - PubMed

Is there a link between cholesterol-lowering medications and atopic dermatitis? - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41405359/

Effect of CLMs on AD is biologically plausible but clinically unproven. Signals of concern are most consistent for 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase and Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) inhibition, whereas...

Cholesterol-lowering drugs may influence atopic dermatitis via skin barrier effects, but evidence is inconclusive; statins/NPC1L1 inhibitors show concern, PCSK9 inhibitors may protect; prioritize cardiovascular benefits while monitoring dermatitis.

Most patients prescribed semaglutide lacked comprehensive pre-treatment screening, with only 1.8% fully assessed. Missing evaluations—especially for thyroid, pancreatic, and ocular risks—may increase the likelihood of severe complications despite known safety concerns.

Ensure safe semaglutide use with proper screening
