A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
OBJECTIVE: To identify patients who may or may not benefit from use of new drugs for weight loss and to aid in minimizing loss of lean mass through proactive nutrition and exercise interventions. QUALITY OF EVIDENCE: Choices and interventions are eva…
PURPOSE: Approximately one of ten US adults has comorbid obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (COBOSA). Traditionally, sleep medicine management of COBOSA focused on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Recently, tirzepatide (a once-weekly inje…
BACKGROUND: The introduction of incretin mimetics (IMs), including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) such as liraglutide and semaglutide, as well as dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor co-agonists (GLP…
The rates of increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity in the world are steadily increasing and exceed even the wildest forecasts, which forces specialists to seek, develop and implement more effective therapeutic metho…
Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a serious complication among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely prescribed and often regarded as kidney-protective, yet post-marketing reports have link…
Cardiometabolic diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of premature mortality and disability worldwide, arising from of cardiovascular and metabolic dysregulation. This review focuses on six critical therapeutic targets established in cardiometabolic…
BACKGROUND: Obesity has emerged as a pressing global health challenge, and therapies based on glucagon-like Peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have transformed its management. Currently, liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide are FDA-approved…
OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a biologically complex and heterogeneous disease that requires individualized, phenotype- and complication-oriented therapeutic strategies. The introduction of advanced pharmacotherapies, including GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1…
OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of GLP-1 RAs in adults with obesity or overweight, by comparing different GLP-1 RAs, identifying the most effective agents, and evaluating adverse effects. METHODS: We systemat…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, produces substantial weight loss and glycaemic improvement in people with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus…
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are two commonly prescribed glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GLP-1/GIP) receptor agonists used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. Allo…

Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide 1 agonist, is gaining popularity for its weight reduction, improved glycemic control, and cardiorenal benefits. While it is generally well tolerated, thromboti…
Obesity management, whether lifestyle-based, pharmacological, or surgical, is frequently associated with gastrointestinal adverse effects (GI AEs) that may impact treatment adherence and patient quality of life. With the increasing use of incretin-ba…
AIMS: This article aims to summarize the role of compounded incretin mimetics in clinical practice and in the context of drug shortages. METHODS: The Endocrine and Metabolism Practice and Research Network, a focused group of the American College of C…
RATIONALE: Obesity remains a major global health challenge, severely affecting metabolic and cardiovascular health. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) receptor agonists mark a significant breakthrough i…
BACKGROUND: Data on tirzepatide added to basal insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes in China are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide added to basal insulin in this population. METHODS: SURPASS-CN-INS was a 40-week,…
The bidirectional relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a critical intersection in metabolic medicine. Therefore, the present review examines the most recent data regarding molecular mechani…
