Utilization of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and changes in clinical characteristics in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients by chronic kidney disease stage in Japan
The utilization of GLP-1 RA has been increasing over the past decade, and GLP-1 RAs have been used in patients with limited treatment options, such as the elderly or those with CKD. In T2DM patients with CKD, the persistence proportion of GLP-1 RAs was not low, and the renal dysfunction may be moderated by GLP-1 RA initiation (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Advances in GLP-1 treatment: focus on oral semaglutide
Oral semaglutide effectively reduces glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and body weight in a broad spectrum of patients with T2D and shows cardiovascular safety (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
Cardiovascular, mortality, and kidney outcomes with GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials
GLP-1 receptor agonists, regardless of structural homology, reduced the risk of individual MACE components, all-cause mortality, hospital admission for heart failure, and worsening kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
Activation of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Ameliorates Cognitive Decline in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Through a Metabolism‐Independent Pathway
We concluded that liraglutide improves cognitive decline in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (Journal of the American Academy of Heart Association)
The Effects of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists and Dipeptydilpeptidase-4 Inhibitors on Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Complications in Diabetes
The cumulative evidence from the recent cardiovascular outcome trials suggests that the effects of GLP-1R activation have a beneficial effect on blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. However, a robust meta-analysis is needed to compare the controversial results of the different papers in the current literature (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Real-world clinical outcomes following treatment intensification with GLP-1 RA, OADs or insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes on two oral agents (PATHWAY 2-OADs)
In propensity score-matched cohorts, GLP-1 RAs demonstrated significant benefits for both glycemic control and weight management over additional OAD(s) or insulin, respectively, indicating that they may represent the optimal choice at these points in the treatment pathway (BMJ Open, Diabetes Research & Care)
Potential unrealized mortality benefit of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists and sodium‐glucose co‐transport‐2 inhibitors
This analysis indicates unrealized opportunities to reduce mortality in selected veterans with T2D and CAD via increased GLP‐1RA and SGLT2i use (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Diabetes medications with cardiovascular protection as we enter a new decade
Can SGLT2 inhibitors, long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists, pioglitazone and metformin complement each other to save lives? (ABCD)
Glycemic efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist on top of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor treatment compared to sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor alone: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
This meta-analysis suggests that a GLP-1RA/SGLT-2i combination, if tolerated, exerts significant beneficial effects on glycemic control and body weight loss, however increasing the risk for any hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal adverse event (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Greater glucagon-like peptide-1 responses to oral glucose are associated with lower central and peripheral blood pressures
Greater glucose-stimulated GLP-1 responses were associated with clinically relevant lower central and peripheral blood pressures, consistent with beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system and reduced risk of CVD and mortality (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
The future of new drugs for diabetes management
The future of the newer classes of glucose-lowering drugs, namely dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium/glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, is being redefined by the large prospective cardiovascular outcome trials (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
A randomized trial comparing the efficacy and safety of treating patients with very elevated hba1c levels with basal‐bolus insulin or a glp‐1 receptor agonist plus basal insulin
In patients with HbA1c≥10% treatment with GLP1RA plus basal insulin, compared with basal‐bolus insulin, resulted in better glycemic control and weight, lower insulin dosage and hypoglycemia, and improved quality of life. This treatment strategy is an effective and safe alternative to basal‐bolus insulin regimen (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Incretin-Based Antihyperglycemic Agents for the Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Review
Several preclinical studies consistently showed that GLP-1 receptor agonists reduce infarct volume and improve the functional outcome after ischemic stroke. These beneficial effects appear to be mediated by anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic actions of these agents (Diabetes Therapy)
Fracture Risk After Initiation of Use of Canagliflozin: A Cohort Study
In this study of middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes and relatively low fracture risk, canagliflozin was not associated with increased risk for fracture compared with GLP-1 agonists (Annals of Internal Medicine)
Insulin and glucose‐lowering agents for treating people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease
Evidence concerning the efficacy and safety of glucose‐lowering agents for people with diabetes and CKD is limited. SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 agonists are probably efficacious for lowering glucose levels. Other potential effects of SGLT2 inhibitors include lower BP, lower potassium levels and a reduced risk of heart failure but an increased risk of genital infections. The safety of GLP‐1 agonists is uncertain (Cochrane Library)
Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue liraglutide facilitates wound healing by activating PI3K/Akt pathway in keratinocytes
Our study suggests that liraglutide may be a potential target drug to improve skin ulcer with diabetes through its specific receptor GLP-1 (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Combination Therapy with GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and SGLT-2 Inhibitors in Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: a Real-World Evidence Study
This study’s findings provide evidence of clinically-meaningful reductions in HbA1c, body weight, and SBP in older T2D patients on combined regimens. The dropout and hypoglycemia rate were minimal and treatment was tolerated well (Canadian Journal of Diabetes)
Cardiovascular outcome studies in type 2 diabetes : comparison between SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists
Currently, there is a paradigm shift in T2DM management, moving from a primary objective of glucose control to a cardiovascular and renal protection (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
The effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists on energy expenditure
This review indicates that GLP-1 has no short-term effect on REE but may decrease DIT. The GLP-1RA exenatide and liraglutide had a neutral effect on REE, although it was not possible to rule out an increase in REE following prolonged treatment (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
