A Comprehensive Review on GLP-1 Signaling Pathways in the Management of Diabetes Mellitus - Focus on the Potential Role of GLP-1 Receptors Agonists and Selenium Among Various Organ Systems
Curr Diabetes Rev. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2174/0115733998287178240403055901. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetes Mellitus develops when the body becomes unable to fuel its cells with glucose, which results in the accumulation of sugar excess in the bloodstream. Because it has diverse pathophysiological impacts on the body, diabetes mellitus represents a significant issue of concern in an attempt to find suitable treatment modalities and medications for afflicted diabetic patients. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) plays a pivotal role in the incretin effect, emerging as a prospective treatment for diabetes mellitus and a pr...

Targeting the incretin system in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus
This article reviews advances in incretin-based pharmacotherapy, including the latest glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists (GLP1RAs), ‘GLP1 plus’ agents, which combine the benefits of these agonists with the activity of additional hormones, and oral GLP1RAs, which promise to extend the benefits of GLP1 therapy.

Patients with autoimmune liver disease have glucose disturbances that mechanistically differ from steatotic liver disease
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1152/ajpgi.00047.2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutoimmune liver diseases are associated with an increased risk of diabetes, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the glucose-regulatory disturbances in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH, n=19), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC, n=15), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC, n=6). Healthy individuals (n=24) and patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, n=18) were included as controls. Blood samples were collecte...

Incretin-based investigational therapies for the treatment of MASLD/MASH
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is the most common form of chronic liver disease. It exists as either simple steatosis or its more progressive form, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The global prevalence of MASLD is estimated to be 32% among adults and is projected to continue to rise with increasing rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

Dual and Triple Incretin-Based Co-agonists: Novel Therapeutics for Obesity and Diabetes
AbstractThe discovery of long-acting incretin receptor agonists represents a major stride forward in tackling the dual epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Here we outline the evolution of incretin-based pharmacotherapy, from exendin-4 to the discovery of the multi-incretin hormone receptor agonists that look set to be our next step toward curing diabetes and obesity. We discuss the multiagonists currently in clinical trials and the improvement in efficacy each new generation of these drugs bring. The success of these agents in preclinical models and clinical trials suggests a promising future for multiagonists in the treatme...
