A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, promoted significant body weight reduction in the phase 3 clinical trials. We conducted a preclinical study and a phase 1 clinical trial (NCT040…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist, is increasingly prescribed privately in the United Kingdom for weight loss. While gastrointestinal side effects are well recognized, se…
Tirzepatide has positive effects on weight loss in individuals with overweight or obesity. Considering its broad side-effect profile, its efficacy and safety in individuals without diabetes mellitus (DM) are yet to be fully understood. To address thi…
The primary objective of this review is to analyze the effects on body weight of discontinuing therapy with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) or tirzepatide in patients treated for obesity. In recent months, there has been a consi…
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) impact more than 2.5 billion adults worldwide, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches. Unimolecular polypharmacology, which involves designing single molecules to target multiple receptors or pathw…
Aims The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the short-term impact of tirzepatide on liver fibrosis markers, specifically the Fibrosis-3 index (FIB-3), Fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4), and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI)…
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most common comorbidity in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). Traditional management relied on insulin therapy to counter the rise in glucose related to a carbohydrate-rich diet, which was previously reco…
Tirzepatide, a novel dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, has demonstrated robust efficacy in clinical trials; however, discontinuation rates due to gastrointestinal adverse events have been reported at 6-10% in Western populations. In contrast, our…
Tirzepatide is a long-acting agonist for the glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptors approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, weight management in obese patients, or overweight patients with a…
Obesity continues to pose an urgent public health challenge in the United States, with prevalence among adults and significant associations with chronic conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Whi…
BACKGROUND: Once weekly Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RA) have been shown to improve glycemic outcomes and cause significant weight loss. However, 9% to 27% of individuals have little or no response to these drugs. In this article,…
Tirzepatide (TZP), a unimolecular dual agonist targeting glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, is a promising weight loss agent in obesity. The preservation of metabolically active fat-free mass (FFM), mu…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has shown promising weight-loss effects in previous trials. However, its dose-dependent efficacy and safety in obese adults witho…
On June 26, 2025, a meeting of the expert working group was held in Moscow. The discussion focused on the personalized approach of tirzepatide («Tirzetta®») and semaglutide («Velgia Eco®») in patients with excess body weight, obesity, and type 2 diab…
INTRODUCTION: An estimated 74.6% of Kuwaiti adults are classified as overweight or obese. As a result, Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) injections such as, Semaglutide, Liraglutide, and Tirzepatide have become an increasingly popu…
Drug-induced thyroiditis is an uncommon but clinically important condition. As dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists like tirzepatide are increasingly used for weight management…
OBJECTIVE: This study compared clinical outcomes of tirzepatide versus bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the TriNetX Global Collabo…
BACKGROUND: While cardiovascular benefits of tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and its comparative effectiveness vs glucagon-like peptide…
