Acta Psychiatr Scand 2024.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Managing body weight in patients with antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) is challenging. Besides lifestyle interventions, pharmacological interventions may contribute to weight loss. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effect on weight loss and adverse effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists in patients with AIWG. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, we performed a meta-analysis of blinded and open-label randomised controlled trials (RCTs), non-randomised controlled trials and cohort studies that evaluated treatment with GLP-1 in patients with AIWG, regardless of psychiatric diagnosis. PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Primary outcome measures were changes in body weight and BMI. Secondary outcomes were changes in adverse effects and severity of psychopathology due to GLP-1 agonists. RESULTS Only data for exenatide and liraglutide could be included, that is, five RCTs and one cohort study. For exenatide the mean weight loss was -2.48 kg (95% Confidence Interval (CI) -5.12 to +0.64; p = 0.07), for liraglutide the mean weight loss was -4.70 kg (95% CI -4.85 to -4.56; p < 0.001). The mean change in BMI was -0.82 (95% CI -1.56 to -0.09; p = 0.03) in the exenatide groups and -1.52 (95% CI -1.83 to -1.22; p < 0.001) in the liraglutide groups. Exenatide and liraglutide did not adversely affect psychopathology. The most common adverse events were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. CONCLUSION The GLP-1 agonists exenatide and liraglutide are promising drugs for inducing weight loss in patients with AIWG. The adverse effects are acceptable, and the addition of GLP-1 does not increase the severity of psychopathology. However, more research is needed.

Potent synergistic effects of dulaglutide and food restriction in prevention of olanzapine-induced metabolic adverse effects in a rodent model. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 176:116763. [PMID: 38805968 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antipsychotics are indispensable in the treatment of severe mental illneses, however adverse metabolic effects including diabetes, weight gain, dyslipidemia, and related cardiovascular morbidity are common, and current pharmacological strategies for their management are unsatisfactory. Glucagon-like 1 peptide receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity hold promise for the management of antipsychotic-associated adverse metabolic effects. METHODS To characterize the molecular effects and identify biomarkers for GLP-1 RA preventive treatment, Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with long-acting formulations of the antipsychotic olanzapine and the GLP-1 RA dulaglutide for 8 days. A pair-feeding protocol evaluated the combined effects of dulaglutide and food restriction on an olanzapine-induced metabolic phenotype. Body weight and food consumption were recorded. Biochemical analysis included a lipid profile, a spectrum of gastrointestinal and adipose tissue-derived hormones, and fibroblast growth factor 21 serum levels. RESULTS Olanzapine induced hyperphagia, weight gain, increased serum triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. Food restriction affected the OLA-induced phenotype but not serum markers. Dulaglutide led to a modest decrease in food intake, with no effect on weight gain, and did not reverse the OLA-induced changes in serum lipid parameters. Concomitant dulaglutide and food restriction resulted in weight loss, decreased feed efficiency, and lower total and HDL cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS A combined strategy of dulaglutide and food restriction manifested a massive synergistic benefit. GLP-1RAs represent a promising strategy and deserve thorough future research. Our findings underline the potential importance of lifestyle intervention in addition to GLP-1 RA treatment.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a predominantly idiopathic pathological condition characterized by protein aggregation phenomena, whose main component is alpha-synuclein. Although the main risk factor is ageing, numerous evidence points to the role of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as an etiological factor. Systemic alterations classically associated with T2DM like insulin resistance and hyperglycemia modify biological processes such as autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis. High glucose levels also compromise protein stability through the formation of advanced glycation end products, promoting protein aggregation processes. The ability of antidiabetic drugs to act on pathways impaired in both T2DM and PD suggests that they may represent a useful tool to counteract the neurodegeneration process. Several clinical studies now in advanced stages are looking for confirmation in this regard.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psychotropic medications, especially antipsychotics, have been consistently shown to cause weight gain in individuals with severe mental illness (SMI), a population inherently challenged by poor physical health. Consequently, compared to the general population, this contributes to an increased cardiometabolic burden, including the risk of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Furthermore, comorbid obesity leads to treatment nonadherence, decreased quality of life, and increased risk of relapse, posing a challenge in the management of mental health. To address this, emerging agents investigated in the general population with potential to mitigate weight gain were explored to assess translatability to the SMI population. AREAS COVERED A literature search was conducted including agents approved for the management of obesity in the general population, along with upcoming agents under investigation in phase III trials with weight loss properties. EXPERT OPINION Metformin and topiramate along with lifestyle interventions are commonly prescribed for weight gain in individuals with SMI; however, their weight loss potential is modest at best. This review identified tirzepatide and cagrilintide-semaglutide among others as promising agents for adjunctive pharmacological management of weight gain.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders (MDs) like obesity, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes are more frequently observed in patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders undergoing treatment with antipsychotics, particularly atypical agents, than in the general population. The second generation of antidiabetics (SGAD) has been associated with cardiovascular benefits in large clinical trials which represent an important advantage over first-generation agents and might be of interest in the psychiatric population where multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease (e.g., smoking, lack of exercise, and lack of healthy diet) are common occurrences. Therefore, this systematic review focused on the evaluation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs), as a representative of the SGAD, to determine whether these agents may be recommended in patients with psychiatric disorders and MDs. For analysis, three electronic databases and clinical trial registers were explored for papers published between January 2000 and November 2022. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 20 clinical and preclinical trials, therapeutic guidelines, and meta-analyses were reviewed, and clinical recommendations were formulated. The large majority of the reviewed data (nine papers) were graded 'moderate' based on the GRADE criteria. The efficacy and tolerability of liraglutide and exenatide in the management of antipsychotic-induced MDs were supported by evidence of average quality, while the results regarding other GLP-1RAs were not sufficient to formulate a recommendation for their administration in this specific population. Clozapine and olanzapine had the most negative consequences on body weight, glycemic, and lipid metabolism. Therefore, careful monitoring of metabolic parameters is required when these are prescribed. Liraglutide and exenatide may be recommended as augmentative agents to metformin therapy, especially in patients receiving these two atypical antipsychotics, but most of the reviewed data supported the efficacy of GLP-1RAs only during the treatment administration. The two follow-up studies retrieved in the literature reported modest effects after GLP-1RA discontinuation after 1 year; therefore, long-term monitoring of metabolic parameters is required. More research is needed, and three randomized clinical trials are already ongoing, to evaluate the effects of GLP-1RAs in decreasing body weight, but also on other important metabolic variables, such as HbA1c status, fasting glucose levels, and lipid levels in patients receiving antipsychotic treatment.

Abstract
Weight gain and metabolic disturbances are frequent in people treated with second generation antipsychotics (SGA). We aimed to investigate the effect of SGAs on eating behaviors, cognitions and emotions, as a possible contributor to this adverse effect. A systematic review and a meta-analysis were conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Original articles measuring outcomes relating to eating cognitions, behaviours and emotions, during treatment with SGAs were included in this review. A total of 92 papers with 11,274 participants were included from three scientific databases (PubMed, Web of Science and PsycInfo). Results were synthesized descriptively except for the continuous data where meta-analyses were performed and for the binary data where odds ratios were calculated. Hunger was increased in participants treated with SGAs with an odds ratio for appetite increase of 1.51 (95% CI [1.04, 1.97]; z = 6.40; p < 0.001). Compared to controls, our results showed that craving for fat and carbohydrates are the highest among other craving subscales. There was a small increase in dietary disinhibition (SMD = 0.40) and restrained eating (SMD = 0.43) in participants treated with SGAs compared to controls and substantial heterogeneity across studies reporting these eating traits. There were few studies examining other eating-related outcomes such as food addiction, satiety, fullness, caloric intake and dietary quality and habits. Understanding the mechanisms associated with appetite and eating-related psychopathology changes in patients treated with antipsychotics is needed to reliably inform the development of effective preventative strategies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clozapine and olanzapine are some of the most effective antipsychotics, but both are associated with weight gain and relevant metabolic disturbances, including pre-diabetes and diabetes. Non-pharmacological/behavioural interventions have had limited effects counteracting these adverse effects. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. We will investigate the long-term effects of add-on treatment with semaglutide once a week versus placebo once a week on the metabolic status in pre-diabetic (glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 35-47 mmol/mol (5.4%-6.4%) and diabetic (HbA1c 48-57 mmol/mol (6.5%-7.4%)) patients diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder who initiated clozapine or olanzapine treatment within the last 60 months. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a 26-week, double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Altogether, 104 patients diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder, aged 18-65 years, with pre-diabetes or diabetes will be randomised to injections of 1.0 mg semaglutide once a week or placebo for 26 weeks. The primary endpoint is change from baseline in HbA1c. Secondary endpoints include changes in body weight, hip and waist circumference and plasma levels of insulin, glucagon, glucose, and C-peptide, insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, hepatic function, fibrosis-4 score, lipid profile, incretin hormones, bone markers, body composition, bone density, proteomic analyses and oxidative stress markers. Together with alcohol, tobacco and drug use, potential effects on the reward value of a sweet-fat stimulus, psychopathology, level of activity and quality of life will also be assessed. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study is approved by the Danish Medicines Agency and the regional scientific ethics committee of the Capital Region of Denmark (committee C, #H-20019008) and will be carried out in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice guidelines and the Helsinki Declaration. The results will be disseminated through peer-review publications and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04892199.

Abstract
Olanzapine is a second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) used in the treatment of schizophrenia and several on- and off-label conditions. While effective in reducing psychoses, acute olanzapine treatment causes rapid hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia and these perturbations are linked to an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic disease. Pharmacological agonists of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) receptor have been shown to offset weight-gain associated with chronic SGA administration and mitigate the acute metabolic side effects of SGAs. The purpose of this study was to determine if increasing endogenous GLP1 is sufficient to protect against acute olanzapine-induced impairments in glucose and lipid homeostasis. Male C57BL/6J mice were treated with olanzapine, in the absence or presence of an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and a combination of compounds to increase endogenous GLP1. These include the non-nutritive sweetener allulose which acts to induce GLP1 secretion but not other incretins, the DPPiv inhibitor sitagliptin which prevents degradation of active GLP1, and an SSTR5 antagonist which relieves inhibition on GLP1 secretion. We hypothesized that this cocktail of agents would increase circulating GLP1 to supraphysiological concentrations and would protect against olanzapine-induced perturbations in glucose and lipid homeostasis. We found that 'triple treatment' increased both active and total GLP1 and protected against olanzapine-induced perturbations in lipid and glucose metabolism under glucose stimulated conditions and this was paralleled by an attenuation in the olanzapine induced increase in the glucagon:insulin ratio. Our findings provide evidence that pharmacological approaches to increase endogenous GLP1 could be a useful adjunct approach to reduce acute olanzapine-induced perturbations in lipid and glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Antipsychotics (APDs) represent a core treatment for severe mental disorders (SMEs). Providing symptomatic relief, APDs do not exert therapeutic effects on another clinically significant domain of serious mental disorders, cognitive impairment. Moreover, adverse metabolic effects (diabetes, weight gain, dyslipidemia, and increased cardiovascular risk) are common during treatment with APDs. Among pharmacological candidates reversing APD-induced metabolic adverse effects, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), approved for both diabetes and recently for obesity treatment, stand out due to their favorable effects on peripheral metabolic parameters. Interestingly, GLP-1 RAs are also proposed to have pro-cognitive effects. Particularly in terms of dual therapeutic mechanisms potentially improving both central nervous system (CNS) deficits and metabolic burden, GLP-1 RAs open a new perspective and assume a clinically advantageous position.

Abstract
More than 40% of adults in the United States suffer from obesity. Obesity is inextricably linked to many chronic illnesses like type-2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, sleep apnea, stroke, and cancers. When used in combination with lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy has a vital role in treating obesity and improves short-term and long-term outcomes. A growing number of physicians are now interested in obesity medicine, and many of them are seeking guidance on how to treat complex patients with co-morbidities. This review provides a practical guide to the use of anti-obesity medications across various obesity-related comorbidities. It provides a general review of the currently approved anti-obesity medications and effective combinations. It discusses the highlights of the major trials and recent studies assessing the benefits of anti-obesity medications in comorbid conditions such as type-2 diabetes mellitus, psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, renal diseases, and liver diseases. This review briefly examines the aspects of recognizing and addressing iatrogenic weight gain; discusses the precautions and prescribing considerations of anti-obesity medications, including side effects and possible dose adjustments in various comorbid conditions; and provides an expert opinion on an individualized choice of the best anti-obesity medication.
