Overview of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists

Home Healthcare Now, 2015
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an increasingly prevalent disease in the United States and globally. Multiple pharmacologic therapies are typically required over time to achieve and maintain target blood glucose levels. When first-line oral medications such as metformin (Glucophage) are not effective in achieving desired glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C ...

Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists

2021
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have been used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) since exenatide, the first GLP-1RA, was approved in 2005. GLP-1 is a peptide hormone secreted by L cells of the small intestine in response to nutrients.

Lipid effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor analogs

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2021
Purpose of review Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are becoming more prominent as a therapeutic choice in diabetes management and their use is being expanded to other indications, such as obesity. Dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease are common co-morbidities in these populations and understanding the ...

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists in Psychiatry

Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology
The glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)–based diabetes and obesity drug semaglutide, with trade names Ozempic and Wegovy, will become the second best-selling drug in 2024, with estimated worldwide Ozempic sales of US ~$16 billion. Finally, the pharmacological treatment of obesity seems to have a breakthrough after decades of setbacks, with previous weight ...

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists: Beta-Cell Protection or Exhaustion?

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2016
Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists enhance insulin secretion and may improve pancreatic islet cell function. However, GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist treatment may have more complex, and sometimes deleterious, effects on beta cells. We discuss the concepts of beta cell protection versus exhaustion for different GLP-1R agonists based on ...

Differential engagement of polar networks in the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor by endogenous variants of the glucagon-like peptide 1

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2018
The glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) can be activated by a number of endogenous peptide hormones, including extended, processed, glycine extended and carboxy-terminally amidated versions of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). While the main focus of the literature has been on the processed, amidated form, GLP-1(7-36)NH2, the other forms of this ...
