Tirzepatide

AIM: To understand treatment patterns and effectiveness of tirzepatide among people without type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the US. METHODS: This retrospective, observational, descriptive study used the Healthcare Integrated Research Database (index date: f…

In the last decade, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved 6 drugs to reduce morbidity or mortality and improve functional capacity in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and 3 drugs to reduce morbidity or m…

BACKGROUND & AIMS: In the SYNERGY-NASH trial for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with stage 2 or 3 fibrosis, tirzepatide, an agonist of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, ef…

AIMS: This study compares the therapeutic efficacy, gastrointestinal (GI) adverse event (AE) rates and the relationship between the therapeutic efficacy and GI AEs in randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials (RCTs) of GLP-1 RAs and the dual GLP…

. Obesity as a chronic disease: the key role of new therapies. The global prevalence of overweight and obesity has risen dramatically, with obesity now recognized as a chronic, progressive, and multifactorial disease linked to major health complicati…

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…

INTRODUCTION: Approximately 3-5% of patients with endometrial cancer (EC) are diagnosed under the age of 40 years, with 70% of these individuals being nulliparous. Consequently, fertility-sparing treatment for eligible young patients with endometrial…

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…

We present the case of a 52-year-old woman who developed a functional small bowel obstruction despite having no history of abdominal surgery, prior bowel obstruction, or GI interventions. The only notable recent change in her medical history was a do…

OBJECTIVES: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have shown beneficial effects on clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or minimally reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF). This ne…

Successful treatment of obesity requires a multidisciplinary approach including dietary strategy, physical activity, and behavioral modification. The seven FDA-approved anti-obesity medications are phentermine, orlistat, phentermine/topiramate ER, na…

OBJECTIVE: Aim: To examine potential protective effect of Tirzepatide against obesity-induced metabolic dysfunction and hepatic inflammatory and apoptotic responses. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: A total of 28 adult male Sprague-Dawley…

We report a case of rhabdomyolysis triggered by initiation of tirzepatide, a novel dual agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. The patient was a 68-year-old man with a medical hist…

While Zepbound (Tirzepetide) is the only FDA-approved drug for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), pharmacological options remain limited. Emerging data suggest sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT-2) inhibitors may offer a novel therapeutic benefit in thi…

INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide is one of the commonly used combined glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists for weight loss in recent years. There are significant advantages of these medications for…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between metabolic and histological responses in a phase 2 trial of tirzepatide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This is a participant-level post hoc analys…

BACKGROUND: Obesity affects over one billion people worldwide and is associated with ocular complications, yet comparative effects of newer anti-obesity medications on eye health remain poorly understood. We examine ocular health outcomes among indiv…
