Abstract Insulin is the major endocrine hormone responsible for regulating whole-body glucose homeostasis by regulating glucose uptake in insulin-sensitive tissue. Obesity is one of the main factors initiating the development of insulin resistance through increased adipose tissue size, inflammation, and ectopic fat deposition in insulin-sensitive tissues. Inflammation and fat accumulation are key drivers for losing […]

Abstract Long-acting dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists (DACRAs) are novel candidates for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their beneficial effects on body weight, glucose control, and insulin action. However, how the metabolic benefits are maintained after long-lasting treatment is unknown. This study investigates the long-term anti-obesity and anti-diabetic treatment […]

Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Insulin therapies for Type 1 diabetes (T1D) have limitations, such as glucose fluctuations, hypoglycaemia, and weight gain. Only pramlintide is approved with insulin. However, its short half-life limits efficacy, requiring multiple daily injections and increasing hypoglycaemia risk. New strategies are needed to improve glycaemic control. Dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists […]

Abstract OBJECTIVE Long-acting dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists (DACRAs) hold great promise as potential treatments for obesity and its associated comorbidities. These agents have demonstrated beneficial effects on body weight, glucose control, and insulin action mirroring the effects observed with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist treatment. Strategies aimed at enhancing and prolonging treatment efficacy include […]

Abstract There is an unmet need for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) therapeutics, considering the increase in global obesity. Dual GLP-1/glucagon (GCG) receptor agonists have shown beneficial effects in circumventing the pathophysiology linked to NASH. However, dual GLP-1/GCG receptor agonists as a treatment of metabolic diseases need delicate optimization to maximize metabolism effects. The impacts of increased […]

Abstract Pharmacotherapies for obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are thought to bridge the gap between lifestyle modification and the weight loss obtained with bariatric surgery. Although the effect of monotherapies, namely amylin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, has shown great potential, combination therapy is now becoming a strategy to optimize efficacy for weight […]
