Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Effects of a selective long‐acting amylin receptor agonist on alcohol consumption, food intake and body weight in male and female rats [PDF]

Addiction Biology, 2020
AbstractAlcohol use disorder is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder affecting both males and females worldwide; however, the efficacy of current pharmacotherapies varies. Recent advances show that gut‐brain peptides, like amylin, regulate alcohol behavioural responses by acting on brain areas involved in alcohol reward processes.

Amylin analogues as a novel perspective in anti‐obesity therapy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Public health systems face a major challenge because of the worldwide obesity epidemic. The number of obese individuals has increased dramatically and, even in Switzerland which may be considered a relatively “lean” country, the numbers are alarmingly high and have reached almost 50% of the adult population.

Does Incretin Agonism Have Sustainable Efficacy?

Cells
Recent clinical trials using synthetic incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists have demonstrated that these treatments ameliorated many complications related to obesity,

Effects of Incretin‐Based Therapies, Diet and Exercise Interventions, and Bariatric Surgery on Fat‐Free Mass in Adults With Overweight or Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintaining fat‐free mass (FFM) during weight loss is important to maintain a healthy body composition. This review examined changes in FFM during weight loss induced by diet and exercise interventions, incretin‐based therapies, and bariatric surgery, and assessed whether the relative loss of FFM differs by weight‐loss modality ...

Prevalence of Obesity and Related Conditions and GLP‐1 Use in Medicare Fee‐for‐Service Beneficiaries

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This study estimated the number and percentage of Medicare fee‐for‐service (FFS) beneficiaries who use GLP‐1 RAs, are currently eligible or could become eligible if ongoing‐trial indications receive approval and coverage. Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study used Medicare enrolment and claims data, representing 100% of ...

GLP-1-based combination strategies for weight loss: Multi-target agents and combination therapies

Pharmacological Research
The emergence of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) represents a major breakthrough in the pharmacotherapy of obesity. However, their single-target mechanism has limitations.

Improved glucose control and reduced body weight in rodents with dual mechanism of action peptide hybrids.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Combination therapy is being increasingly used as a treatment paradigm for metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. In the peptide therapeutics realm, recent work has highlighted the therapeutic potential of chimeric peptides that act on two ...

Positioning Incretin‐Based and Next‐Generation Obesity Management Medications: A Methodological Framework for a Series of Systematic Reviews and Network Meta‐Analyses

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The obesity pharmacotherapy landscape is evolving rapidly, with several approved incretin‐based therapies and an expanding pipeline of investigational compounds targeting multiple metabolic pathways. Conventional evidence syntheses often struggle to accommodate differences in dose selection, treatment duration and stage of clinical ...
