Antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs show efficacy against steatotic liver disease

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is the most common liver disease in the world, affecting about one third of the adult population. This disorder is characterized by the accumulation of fat in liver cells, which has severe liver consequences and is also associated with a high mortality rate from cardiovascular disease. Now, a University of Barcelona study published in the journal Pharmacological Research shows that pemafibrate and telmisartan, two drugs already approved for other conditions, effectively reduce fat accumulation in laboratory animal models of metabolic liver disease. Furthermore, the study suggests that this combination of drugs may help to reduce both liver involvement and associated cardiovascular complications. These results open the door to the development of safer and more effective treatments for this disease, for which current therapeutic options are very limited. The study has been carried out by a team led by Marta Alegret, professor at the ...

Large-scale analysis offers insights into sporadic nature of chikungunya virus outbreaks

While the virus is common in tropical and subtropical regions, including Asia, Africa and South America, public health officials have been tracking reported infections in Europe and, in September, a confirmed case in Long Island, New York. Outbreaks of chikungunya have prompted the Centers for Disease Control to issue health notices to travelers bound for Bangladesh; Cuba; Guangdong Province, China; Kenya; Madagascar; Somalia; and Sri Lanka. In Guangdong Province, an”unprecedented”outbreak recently prompted government officials in China to mandate quarantines for anyone suspected of being infected by the virus, spraying individuals with mosquito repellent and spraying impacted buildings and other areas with insecticide. In a new study, published in Science Advances, researchers at the University of Notre Dame analyzed more than 80 outbreaks of chikungunya virus to improve prediction of future outbreaks and inform vaccine trial development. “Chikungunya outbreaks are unpredictable in both size and severity,”said Alex ...

Eli Lilly claims that Tilpotide is more effective than Smeaglutide

Lilly stated in a press release on December 4th that in a head to head randomized controlled trial, its weight loss drug Zepbound was more effective in weight loss than its competitor Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy. This result is not surprising for scientists and doctors who are closely monitoring the rise of glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) weight loss drugs. This randomized controlled trial also reflects the results of diabetes drugs from the two companies. These drugs use the same active ingredients and are sold under the brands of Mounjaro and Ozempic respectively. Similar results have been observed in observational studies and previous clinical trials comparing drugs with placebos separately. However, recording the differences between Zepbound and Wegovy in a rigorous manner is still an important step, especially as such a comparison may allow Lilly to claim in marketing that Zepbound has better therapeutic effects. This can help Lilly win ...
