Separate and combined effects of semaglutide and empagliflozin on kidney oxygenation and perfusion in people with type 2 diabetes: a randomised trial - Diabetologia
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-023-05876-w
Aims/hypothesis Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1ras) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have shown kidney-protective effects. Improved kidney oxygenation and haemodynamic changes are suggested mechanisms; however, human data are scarce....
Conclusions/Interpretation: Our hypothesis, that semaglutide, empagliflozin or their combination improve kidney oxygenation, was rejected. On the contrary, empagliflozin induced a reduction in medullary kidney oxygenation. Semaglutide substantially reduced kidney perfusion without affecting oxygenation.

Background: Semaglutide is an effective agent indicated for type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatment and weight management. It is unknown if the magnitude of weight loss differs significantly between nonelderly...
Conclusion: Weight loss differences between elderly and nonelderly Veterans diagnosed with T2DM initiating semaglutide were not statistically significant. Age may not be a robust predictor of semaglutide’s influence on weight.
Effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide on metabolic disturbances in clozapine-treated or olanzapine-treated patients with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder: study protocol of a placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial (SemaPsychiatry)

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36721366/
Weight-lowering pharmacotherapies provide an option for weight management; however, their effects on physical activity, function, and cardiorespiratory fitness are not fully understood. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of...
Conclusions/Relevance: None of the studies reported a physical activity outcome, and only one study reported objectively measured cardiorespiratory fitness. Improvements in self-reported physical function were observed with weight loss therapy, but the effect on physical activity or objectively measured physical function and fitness could not...

Semaglutide treatment attenuates vessel remodelling in ApoE−/− mice following vascular injury and blood flow perturbation
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667089522000165?via=ihub

Conclusions: Semaglutide treatment reduced vessel remodelling following electrical injury and blood flow perturbation in an atheroprone mouse model. This effect appears to be driven by anti-inflammatory and -proliferative mechanisms independent of GLP-1 receptor-mediated signalling in the resident vascular cells. This mechanism of action may...
