Empagliflozin and liraglutide ameliorate HFpEF in mice via augmenting the Erbb4 signaling pathway
In this study, we explored the anti-HFpEF effects of empagliflozin and liraglutide and the underlying molecular mechanisms in a mouse model of HFpEF. This model was established by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding plus Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) treatment. The mice were treated with empagliflozin (20 mg·kg-1·d-1, i.g.) or liraglutide (0.3 mg·kg-1·d-1, i.p.) or their combination for 4 weeks. At the end of the experimental protocol, cardiac function was measured using ultrasound, then mice were euthanized and heart, liver, and kidney tissues were collected. Nuclei were isolated from frozen mouse ventricular tis...

Sex, Racial, Ethnic, and Geographical Disparities in Major Adverse Cardiovascular Outcome of Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists among patients with and without diabetes mellitus: A Meta-analysis of Placebo-Controlled Randomized Controlled Trials
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have emerged as a first-line drug in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).1 GLP-1RAs have also been found to significantly reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with T2DM, as demonstrated by multiple large cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs).2, 3 The LEADER (Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes: Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcome Results) trial (2016), which aimed to determine the cardiovascular (CV) effects of liraglutide marked a turning point and was the first to show a reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (...

Liraglutide effectiveness in preoperative weight-loss for patients with severe obesity undergoing bariatric-metabolic surgery
AbstractPreoperative management of patients living with severe obesity can be challenging; in this context, the preoperative weight loss may help to obtain better outcomes and less morbidity  for bariatric surgery. Therefore, we evaluated the effectiveness of GLP-1 analogue Liraglutide in preoperative weight loss. We performed a single-center, quasi-experimental prospective study. Eligible participants were adults in preoperative management for bariatric-metabolic surgery with body-m ass index ≥ 48 kg/m2. All patients were assigned liraglutide treatment, with an initial dose of 0.6  mg subcutaneous per day, the...

Exploring the association between weight loss-inducing medications and multiple sclerosis: insights from the FDA adverse event reporting system database
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest a potential consideration for repurposing anti-diabetic weight loss-inducing drugs including semaglutide, dulaglutide, and liraglutide (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists), empagliflozin (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor), and metformin (biguanide), for MS. This warrants validation through rigorous methodologies and prospective studies.PMID:38566910 | PMC:PMC10986166 | DOI:10.1177/17562864241241383 (Source: Adv Data)

Liraglutide and Naringenin relieve depressive symptoms in mice by enhancing Neurogenesis and reducing inflammation
Eur J Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 30:176525. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176525. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDepression is a debilitating mental disease that negatively impacts individuals' lives and society. Novel hypotheses have been recently proposed to improve our understanding of depression pathogenesis. Impaired neuroplasticity and upregulated neuro-inflammation add-on to the disturbance in monoamine neurotransmitters and therefore require novel anti-depressants to target them simultaneously. Recent reports demonstrate the antidepressant effect of the anti-diabetic drug liraglutide. Similarly, the natural flavonoid naringen...
