Brown Adipose Tissue: A New Potential Target for Glucagon-like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists in the Treatment of Obesity.

Adipose tissue can be divided into white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT), and beige adipose tissue, according to the differences in morphology. WAT acts as a buffer for increased energy intake and decreased energy expenditure during the development of obesity, resulting in visceral and ectopic WAT accumulation. These WAT depots are strongly associated with chronic systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic risk related to obesity.

Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 Inhibitors in Type 1 Diabetes: A Scoping Review.

Background: With recent developments in diabetes technology, attaining adequate glucose control is more achievable than ever. Despite these improvements, a significant proportion of individuals with type 1 diabetes do not reach recommended glycaemic goals. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are glucose-lowering agents that inhibit the reabsorption of filtered glucose in the kidneys, thus promoting glucosuria.
