Feb 3rd, 2023 - Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common complication of obesity and is associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The hallmark feature of NAFLD is an increase in intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content. Data from studies conducted in rodent models suggest increased IHTG content can alter hepatic vagal afferent nerve (HVAN) activity. In rodent models of obesit...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Introduction: In renal transplant recipients, hyperglycaemia develops frequently in the immediate period after renal transplantation. Insulin is the primary choice of treatment but carries the adherent risk of hypoglycaemia and weight gain. Tablet semaglutide is a potent glucose-lowering agent that can reduce weight and the incidence of hypoglycaemia. It also has the ability to delay progressio...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a common retinal microvascular complication in diabetic patients that can lead to progressive loss of visual acuity and ultimately to complete vision loss. DME is the main cause of vision loss in patients with Type 2 diabetes. There is a significant unmet medical need to develop better therapies of DME and diabetic retinopathy (DR). RZ402 is a potent and selectiv...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This is a randomized clinical trial of single-blind with 2 arms (Control group and experimental group), in which a pre-treatment-postest design has been used.
