A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
AIMS: Post-marketing surveillance has indicated potential suicide and self-injury signals in patients taking GLP-1RAs for weight management, despite no current psychiatric warnings in labeling. This study evaluated the association between GLP-1RAs an…
BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the relation between tirzepatide exposure and the risk of adverse cardiovascular or renal events in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or obesity. METHODS: A comprehensive search was con…
In combatting the obesity crisis, leveraging mechanisms that lower body weight is critical. The finding that treatment with tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, produc…
PURPOSE: In this study, we aim to explore the effects of tirzepatide on the gut microbiota in mice with obesity induced by a high-fat diet. METHODS: Forty male C57BL/6J mice, aged six weeks, were randomly assigned to one of four experimental groups:…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is increasingly used worldwide for weight loss and glycaemic control but is associated with gastrointestinal side effects. We her…
OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to model the potential cost-effectiveness of tirzepatide as an alternative to lifestyle modification (LSM) for the management of obesity and overweight. METHODS: An individual-level discrete event simulation was implement…
The new European clinical practice guidelines from three scientific societies (European Association for the Study of the Liver, European Association for the Study of Diabetes and European Association for the Study of Obesity) on the management of met…
BACKGROUND: Current treatment options for youth-onset type 2 diabetes are limited and have demonstrated lower glycaemic efficacy than those for adult-onset type 2 diabetes. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of tirzepatide, a glucose-dependen…
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 is a chronic disease associated with multiple health risks. Multimodal treatments including lifestyle interventions, pharmacotherapies and bariatric surgery should be the standard of care for obesity management. Bariatric surgery remains the…
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…
The global prevalence of early-onset type 2 diabetes (EOT2D) is rising rapidly. Adults with EOT2D represent a high-risk population characterised by increased rates of microvascular and macrovascular complications, adverse psychological wellbeing and…
Triple activation of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R), the GIP receptor (GIPR), and the glucagon receptor (GCGR) is an innovative strategy for treating obesity and diabetes. We report the rational design of triple GLP-1R/GCGR/GIPR agonis…
American culture encourages overconsumption, fueled by ubiquitous availability and pervasive marketing of ultra-processed foods and other addictive substances. This chronic overindulgence has contributed to rising rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T…
INTRODUCTION: Early treatment of obesity is essential and requires proactive engagement from healthcare providers. A 2022 survey among the members of the Italian Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AME) revealed that they often did not address…
