A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND: Suboptimal initial clinical response (SICR) and weight gain recurrence (WGR) are challenging issues following bariatric surgery. Recently, the promising weight loss effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have bee…
The prevalence of prediabetes has more than doubled over the past two decades. Although hormones associated with the menstrual cycle may offer some protection against diabetes by enhancing insulin sensitivity and suppressing gluconeogenesis, the prev…
Tirzepatide is a unimolecular dual agonist of both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, recently commercialized and reimbursed in Belgium for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Because…
BACKGROUND: Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and obesity have significant disability and frequent exacerbations of heart failure. We hypothesized that tirzepatide, a long-acting agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide, a once-weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist approved in the US for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, has demonstrated significant improvements in glycated he…
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), there remains a paucity of data from large high-quality real-world studies on the efficacy of weight-lowering interventions, including the g…
AIMS: The SURMOUNT-1 trial investigated effects of tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, on body weight in participants with obesity or overweight. This analysis evaluated changes in…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1) agonists have been traditionally used in the treatment of type II diabetes. However, in recent times they have become a cornerstone in the pharmacological management of weight loss, and their use is increasing…
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…
Introduction This study aims to evaluate the risk of residual gastric content (RGC) among patients taking semaglutide/tirzepatide undergoing an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted from 2024 to 2…
Obesity is a well-established risk factor for both the incidence and poorer clinical outcomes of Breast Cancer (BC), particularly among hormone receptor-positive postmenopausal women. However, conventional weight loss interventions have yielded limit…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) effectively reduce body weight, their impact on lean mass remains uncertain. This meta-analysis evaluated the effects of GLP-1RAs and GLP-1/GIP receptor dual agonists (GL…
