Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is well known for its glucose-lowering and weight-reducing effects, primarily through central appetite suppression. However, its direct role in promoting white adipose tissue (WAT) browning and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We…

Next-generation incretin therapies, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, have transformed obesity and Type 2 diabetes management. However, evidence-based nutritional strategies to support safe and effective use of these agents remain limited. To ad…

AIMS: To compare lean mass changes between incretin-based therapies (GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GLP-1/GIP agonists) and intensive lifestyle interventions in adults with overweight or obesity, and to determine whether the proportion of total wei…

: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have advanced the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet their association with cancer risk remains subject of ongoing research. Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a well-established risk f…

BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide (TZP) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have both shown promise in managing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, direct comparative data are limited. This study aimed…

OBJECTIVE: Ketoacidosis is a critical adverse event requiring close clinical monitoring. Based on the Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this study aimed to identify the drugs with the clos…

Tirzepatide is a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist approved for the treatment of type-2 diabetes and for weight management. While generally well-tolerated, common advers…

AIM: To evaluate the association between preconception glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA)/tirzepatide use and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: This retrospective cohort study (January 1, 2015-April 30, 2025) u…

Background Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has demonstrated substantial efficacy in reducing body weight and improving glycemic control in randomized trials;…

PURPOSE: Tirzepatide, the first dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist with rapidly expanding clinical use, requires detailed post-marketing pharmacovigilance to monitor emerging s…

Objective Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has been shown to improve hepatic inflammation and steatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, whether its…

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is closely associated with obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, has demonstrated superior efficacy for weight reduction and improved metabolic health compared w…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review examines the mechanistic pathways linking obesity and cardiovascular disease, with particular emphasis on recent advancements in pharmacologic therapies. It evaluates the cardiovascular effects of novel anti-obesity med…

During 2025, endocrinology witnessed the expansion of pharmacotherapeutic options for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), obesity, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH); increasing complexity of treatment algorithms, including choices for i…

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome represents a progressive disease continuum linking metabolic risk factors with cardiovascular and kidney disease. Patients in early CKM stages (stages 1-2) represent a critical therapeutic wi…

BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a novel dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, has demonstrated superior glycemic efficacy in randomized clinical trials. However, real-world data in Indian populations remain limited. OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this multi…
