Ozempic could delay ageing, researchers suggest

  • Currency: EUR

One pretty good news is only a posiibility for now but it shouldn't be ignored: a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity could also slow down the process of ageing, researchers believe.

BBC News is saying that Semaglutide, better known as Ozempic, "has far-reaching benefits beyond what we initially imagined," Prof Harlan Krumholz, from the Yale School of Medicine, said following the publication of several new studies.

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in medicines like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus and it is already taken by millions around the world for weight loss in specific patients, and also to lower blood sugar levels, and to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke in certain patients. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist that works by increasing insulin release, lowering the amount of glucagon released, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing appetite.

Ozempic is given as a subcutaneous injection weekly and the Ozempic injection is used to lower blood sugar levels for type 2 diabetic patients, along with diet and exercise. It is also used for diabetic patients who already have cardiovascular disease, to help lower the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke.

The researchers found that the drug could be used to treat a wide range of illnesses linked to heart failure, arthritis, Alzheimer's and even cancer, and it  also reduces inflammation. The new data has been published in a number of medical journals, including the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), which Prof Krumholz edits.

  • Build and design a responsive Joomla website

    Websites are considered visual brands for any person, entity, product or service. They are a way to show to the entire world (or, at least, to the targeted niche) what someone is doing during this period, what you sell or what you offer now. The first step is establishing the strategy for the following months or years - that's as important as the design and site itself.
