Burden and Risk of Depression in Patients Receiving Semaglutide: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), including semaglutide, are widely used for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and related metabolic conditions. Evidence on potential neuropsychiatric effects remains inconsistent.

meta-analysis · 2026

Comparative Efficacy of Tirzepatide Versus Semaglutide for Weight Loss in Adults With Overweight or Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Head-to-Head Studies

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide versus semaglutide for weight reduction in adults with overweight or obesity. We included randomised controlled trials and observational studies comparing tirzepatide and semaglutide with ≥ 24 weeks of follow-up.

Females Are Completely Resistant to Semaglutide-Induced Muscle Loss in ob/ob Mice

Obesity is a major contributor to cardiometabolic disease, and pharmacological therapies, such as semaglutide, are increasingly used to induce weight loss.

Electroacupuncture enables semaglutide dose sparing in type 2 diabetes by boosting drug concentration and suppressing β-cell apoptosis

Purpose Semaglutide is effective for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) but limited by dose-dependent gastrointestinal adverse effects.

Study · 2026

Association of Tirzepatide versus Semaglutide with Risk of Asthma Exacerbation in Patients with Asthma and Type 2 Diabetes: A US Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Background While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) show promise in improving respiratory outcomes, the comparative effectiveness of dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/GLP-1 RA versus GLP-1 RA alone remains unclear.

Study · 2026

IDE-mediated GLP-1 degradation as the basis for designing long-acting and CNS-stable GLP-1 receptor agonists

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a key incretin hormone rapidly degraded by circulating proteases such as DPP-4. The metabolism of GLP-1 by other proteases, particularly tissue-resident proteases, remains largely unexplored.
