Dual Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists

Endocrinology Research and Practice, 2022
Glucagon-like peptide-1 is the most potent incretin secreted from the intestinal tract. It is synthesized by L-cells in the jejunum and distal ileum of the gastrointestinal system.

Prescription of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists by Cardiologists

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are a class of incretin mimetics with multisystem cardiometabolic effects. Six GLP-1RAs are approved for improving glycemic control by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Insulin Resistance: An Update on Biochemical and Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Impact on Various Diseases

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insulin resistance is the biological phenomenon in which the human body's normal response to the metabolic hormone insulin is compromised. Insulin is a regulator of most of the essential metabolic steps in the body that control energy homoeostasis, so dysregulation leads to multiple diverse human diseases including, most prominently, Type 2 ...

Effect of Glucagon‐Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists on Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obesity Science & Practice
Background and Aim Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor (GLP‐1R) agonists are well‐established therapies for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Emerging evidence also suggests their potential role in managing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Standardized MRI‐Based Quantification of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume: Reproducibility and Agreement With Cardiac Computed Tomography

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) is increasingly recognized as a cardiometabolic risk marker associated with adverse outcomes. The most established approach for EATV quantification is cardiac computed tomography (CT). MRI offers a radiation‐free alternative allowing simultaneous assessment of myocardial function and tissue ...
