🌟 New article in our Plantrician Library: Understanding GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, and Others)! 🌟 We are thrilled to feature guest author Cyrus Khambatta, PhD! Cyrus is the New York Times bestselling co-author of Mastering Diabetes and has helped more than 10,000 people reverse the underlying cause of insulin resistance. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have gained popularity due to their effectiveness in managing type 2 diabetes and promoting weight loss. Originally developed to reduce blood glucose in type 2 diabetes only, research published in the New England Journal of Medicine documenting the powerful weight loss effects of the active ingredient semaglutide began the movement to prescribe GLP-1 receptor antagonists as an off-label weight-loss drug. While the weight loss effects of GLP-1 RAs are powerful, caution should be exercised when prescribing this class of medications to those trying to lose weight or reduce their blood glucose, due to their extensive list of unwanted side effects. Read more about the research and side effects of GLP-1 RAs here: https://loom.ly/AmZnVyA #plantrician #masteringdiabetes #library #ozempic #wegovy #weightloss #type2diabetes #diabetes #weightlossdrugs #GLP1 #CyrusKhambatta #research

GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, are well-known for their role in weight management and glycemic control. These medications mimic the action of the endogenous GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and insulin secretion. By activating GLP-1 receptors, these drugs not only aid in weight loss but also improve overall metabolic health and energy levels. GLP-1 therapy works by slowing gastric emptying, which helps maintain a feeling of fullness and reduces food intake. Additionally, it enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon release, leading to improved blood sugar control and reduced energy fluctuations throughout the day. Healthon offers personalized GLP-1 therapy to help you achieve your weight loss goals and boost your energy levels. By integrating this advanced treatment into your routine, you can experience sustained energy and improved metabolic function. Consult with Healthon’s experts to determine if GLP-1 therapy is right for you and to receive tailored guidance for maximizing its benefits. Sources: Aronne, L., et al. (2023).

Will be interesting to see next phase results
STAT reports on Novo Nordisk’s phase 1 trial of experimental oral medicine amycretin, with an average of 13.1% weight loss after 12 weeks. The weight loss is fast and large, in comparison to about 6% at the same time point for injectable medication Wegovy. Amycretin targets well-known GLP-1 as well as amylin – a hormone from the pancreas that reduces food intake by delayed stomach emptying, and well as decreasing blood glucose levels. A Phase II trial of the drug will commence in the second half of 2024, with results due in early 2026. https://lnkd.in/eGmjgnZq

Rounding out the morning in the CV track with Colleen Walsh-Irwin DNP, ANP-BC, AACC, EBP-C, FAANP giving a great overview of dyslipidemia medications. Key Takeaways: ✅️ Reducing LDL reduces CV risk and improves CV outcomes ✅️ Statin therapy is the foundation of management and additional agents should build on statins ✅️ Cholesterol can be targeted multiple ways: Intestinal absorption PCSK9 inhibiton Incrisilin ✅️ Clinical inertia in lipid management adds costs both monetarily and with increased morbidity/mortality ✅️ No such thing as a too-low LDL

ENROLLMENT COMPLETE: Our two Phase III clinical trials testing berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) in patients with type 2 #diabetes have completed enrollment. Both trials are evaluating our first-in-class gut-liver anti-inflammatory metabolic modulator for its effects on HbA1c and other indicators of glucose metabolism, lipids, markers of liver injury/function, and inflammation in patients with #T2DM; the first (SYMPHONY-1/NCT06350890) in patients who have poor glycemic control after dietary and exercise interventions, and the second (SYMPHONY-2/NCT06353347) in patients whose diabetes is inadequately controlled with metformin. Thank you to our team and all participants in these important studies. https://ow.ly/VlBV50SoYQ7 $2511HK #metabolicdisorders #pharma #clinicaltrials #drugdevelopment
