Olpasiran and lepodisiran are GalNAc conjugates containing siRNAs that target the LPA gene, promoting RISC-mediated degradation of Apo(a) mRNA and preventing Lp(a) particle assembly in hepatocytes
These medications are expensive
To further strengthen the contribution of OS in ALS, an increase in the level of several proteins oxidatively modified and consequently inactivated has been found in SOD1 G93A transgenic mice and correlated with SOD1 mutation: such proteins are SOD1 itself, translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP, which normally processes calcium binding activity and acts as a cytoprotective factor), and ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isoenzyme L1 (UCH-L1, which plays an important role in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, UPS)
Norways and the Netherlands treatment guidelines both deploy the approach of covering and reimbursing treatment types based on the patients obesity class, recommending treatment for overweight and lower classes of obesity with non-GLPs, like Mysimba, and recommending treatment with GLP-1s, like Wegovy, for the higher classes of obesity
