Abstract Obesity-related metabolic disorders, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its more progressive form non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, are causing an increased health burden, especially due to the lack of approved treatment options. Using preclinical models of NASH, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, we investigated the effects of a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) and glucagon (GCG) receptor agonist OXM-104 head to head with once-daily GLP-1/GCG receptor agonist cotadutide and once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide. OXM-104, cotadutide, and semaglutide elicited marked reductions in body weight and improved glucose control. In contrast, hepatoprotective effects, i.e., reductions in steatosis and fibrosis, as well as liver fibrosis biomarkers, were more prominent with OXM-104 and cotadutide than effects seen with semaglutide. This is demonstrated by improved NAFLD activity score (NAS) by OXM-104 and cotadutide which underlines the importance of the GCG receptor. Thus, these results underline the potential of OXM-104 as a promising therapeutic option for the resolution of NASH, but also as a therapeutic option for type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) were introduced for type 2 diabetes therapy nearly 10 years ago, among them short-acting compounds on the basis of the GLP-1-like peptide exendin-4 (exenatide and lixisenatide) and a long-acting GLP-1 RA based on the human GLP-1 sequence (liraglutide). Recently, two novel long-acting GLP-1 RAs on the basis of human GLP-1 sequence, for onceweekly application, have been approved for therapy of type 2 diabetes. Additionally, liraglutide has been approved for treatment of obesity at a higher dose than that used for diabetes therapy. This mini-review gives a short overview of the novel long-acting GLP-1 RAs albiglutide and dulaglutide and also reviews the studies of liraglutide in treatment of obesity leading to its approval for this use. These studies were largely presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in fall 2014.

This paper reports the results of the treatment of 71 patients presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus using liraglutide, a long-acting analog of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) marketed under the brand name Victoza. Practically all the patients experienced either improvement or normalization of the parameters of carbohydrate metabolism in conjunction with a reduction of their body weight and arterial pressure. There were no severe hypoglycemic episodes and other adverse reactions to the therapy. It is recommended that Victoza should be more widely used for the treatment of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
