A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
There is a growing literature on the concurrent use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in patients with psychiatric disorders, and their safety and risks, in addition to potential therapeutic benefits in some disorders. The 2 ca…
AIMS: Despite the established efficacy of tirzepatide in randomised controlled trials, real-world effectiveness data in Japanese patients remain limited. This study evaluated the real-world effectiveness and safety of tirzepatide in Japanese patients…
AIM: This study aims to examine weight-loss history and pre-treatment concerns, and their associations with current functioning and well-being in adults undergoing incretin-based pharmacotherapy for obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectiona…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine-metabolic disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation resulting in reproductive and metabolic complications. Traditional metfo…
Dercum's disease (DD) is a rare chronic disorder characterized by painful subcutaneous lipomas, mostly affecting overweight or obese middle-aged women. The etiology remains unclear, and evidence for medical treatments is limited. Surgical approaches…
PURPOSE: The SURMOUNT-5 trial demonstrated greater weight reduction with tirzepatide vs. semaglutide in adults with obesity without diabetes. This study compared real-world weight reduction and cardiometabolic parameters associated with tirzepatide a…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist use and interest in using medications for weight loss among adults (≥ 18 years) in Great Britain. METHODS: Nationally representative household s…
The dual GLP-1/GIP agonist tirzepatide is a highly effective anti-obesity therapy. While promising, it is associated with potential adverse effects, including thyroid disease reported in animal models. Due to limited human data, this study seeks to i…
Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication that may arise in patients treated with incretin-based therapies or Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. We report a 41-year-old femal…
Obesity is a complex, multifactorial disease that contributes to a broad range of cardiometabolic, reproductive, and psychological disorders. Representing a major global health challenge, obesity can be addressed by lifestyle modifications such as re…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have shown promise in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and provide metabolic and cardiovascular benefits. Their associations with neurocognitive outcomes in clinical populations re…
Incretin therapy, utilizing glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dual receptor agonists, is a cornerstone of obesity management due to effects on appetite suppression, weight loss, and metabolic improvement. Liraglutide, semaglutide,…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has rapidly emerged as the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, gradually replacing viral hepatitis in clinical and epidemiological relevance. Italian data mirror global tr…
BACKGROUND: With the increasing use of glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists and declining bariatric surgery referrals for patients with morbid obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is unclear whether this strategy optimizes long-term surviv…
Dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists have emerged as a novel therapeutic class with potential relevance for cardiovascular prevention, particularly in the context of obesity and…
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus, a global epidemic, necessitates robust evidence synthesis to guide clinical practice. This study analyzes systematic reviews and meta-analyses in diabetes research to identify trends, gaps, and key insights for advancin…
Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial condition strongly associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk, as well as the development of systemic complications. Recent evidence from randomized controlled trials-including SELECT, STEP-HFpEF,…
