A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
OBJECTIVE: A majority of adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are overweight (OW) or obese (OB) and often struggle to reach glycemic targets. Tirzepatide, a dual-incretin approved for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and OW/OB, has been shown to improve glucose co…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis of current clinical evidence on the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), and dual glucose-depend…
IMPORTANCE: The association of bariatric surgery and newer glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs; semaglutide and tirzepatide) with body composition still lack evidence from clinical settings. OBJECTIVE: To examine temporal changes in f…
BACKGROUND: Lipodystrophy syndromes (LD) are a group of rare conditions characterised by the generalised or partial absence and/or dysfunction of adipocytes. Due to the lack of fat storage capacity, excess lipid accumulates in other tissues, leading…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Simultaneous control of HbA, lipid profile, BP and body weight is essential for preventing chronic complications of type 2 diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based therapies improve all these variables but whether the dual GLP…
Incretin-based dual and triple agonists have emerged as effective options for obesity management, offering enhanced weight loss through multi-receptor agonism. However, data on their efficacy and safety remain limited. We conducted a systematic revie…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review evaluates the antihypertensive potential of next-generation incretin-based therapies, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists. It examines their effects on blood pressure reduction, underl…
This study investigated the therapeutic potential of tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, in a mouse model combining obesity, type 2 diabetes, and estrogen deficiency. Four groups were initially established and maintained for 12 weeks unde…
OBJECTIVE: This prespecified subpopulation analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of once-weekly tirzepatide versus placebo alongside lifestyle intervention in Japanese adults with obesity or overweight. METHODS: Data from 102 Japanese adul…
RATIONALE: Previous studies have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists and dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) agonists (tirzepatide) reduced severity of sleep apnea. However, whether these medications impact incid…
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are commonly treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). However, there have been growing concerns over the possibility that these medications may result in ocular adverse events, su…
Incretin-based pharmacology has revolutionized the medical treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. The most effective drug to date is tirzepatide, a dual incretin receptor agonist that engages both the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and…
The impact of GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist use on unscheduled care is not well-described. We conducted a prospective, observational study using opportunistic screening by clinicians as a first step to understanding the effect of GLP-1 or GIP/G…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide is recommended as a first-line injectable for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but there is a paucity of data on the use of basal insulin after tirzepatide in this population. This study aimed to evaluate glycemic control…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, offers a novel cardiometabolic strategy beyond glycemic control with important implications for heart failure care. By producing potent, sustained weight reduction and favourable changes in…
BACKGROUND: Prediabetes refers to the transitional stage from normal glucose metabolism to diabetes. The International Diabetes Federation guidelines reported that, as of 2024, approximately 1.12 billion people globally were in the prediabetes stage.…
OBJECTIVE: This post hoc analysis assessed psychiatric changes with tirzepatide in adults with obesity, without known major psychopathology, from SURMOUNT-1, SURMOUNT-2, and SURMOUNT-3. METHODS: In participants (N = 4056) treated with tirzepatide (5/…
Obesity, diabetes, and menopause impair hypothalamic regulation of energy balance by inducing inflammation, cellular stress, and disruption of neuropeptide signaling. In a female mouse model combining these conditions, we investigated whether tirzepa…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the quality, reliability, and thematic content of user-generated videos on TikTok concerning glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed the top 400 most popular videos using…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based obesity pharmacotherapies have revolutionized obesity treatment. In this review, we discuss the discovery of GLP-1 and evaluate the efficacy of marketed and investigational GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists (GLP-1…
