Tirzepatide

INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists including Mounjaro and Ozempic, are increasingly used for weight management. Assessing the attitudes and beliefs of current and future healthcare professionals is important considering t…

AIMS: Hypertension and obesity frequently coexist and synergistically increase cardiovascular (CV) risk. Incretin-based therapies with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/GLP1-RAs, and glucagon/…

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (liraglutide, semaglutide) and dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GLP-1/GIP) receptor agonists (tirzepatide) are approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity.To compare…

BACKGROUND: Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dual or triple co-agonists for weight loss among adults with overweight or obesity and without diabetes. PURPOSE: To as…

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…

Obesity is a growing global epidemic and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, previous weight loss interventions have largely failed to demonstrate consistent cardiovascular benefits. While lifestyle modifications remain the corne…

AIM: We assessed the association between tirzepatide and the 10-year predicted risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) among three-year SURMOUNT-1 trial participants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This post hoc analysis app…

Obesity confers increased risks of HF, coronary artery disease, and stroke, and weight loss can reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Given emerging evidence of the benefits of semaglutide and tirzepatide in individuals with HFpEF and obesity in concer…

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…

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) therapies are highly effective for weight loss and metabolic improvement in obesity and type 2 diabetes management. However, their use poses clinical challenges, including loss of lean muscle mass and gastr…

: With rising obesity rates, pharmacological interventions are increasingly used in non-diabetic adults. While being effective in managing weight, these agents frequently cause gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, affecting adherence and long-term out…

This systematic review evaluates the long-term efficacy and safety of GLP-1 receptor agonists in the management of obesity, focusing on data from high-quality randomized controlled trials published between 2018 and 2025. This review synthesizes findi…

PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the possible impacts of fasting on physical activity and weight loss in adult users of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, specifically semaglutide and tirzepatide, using qualitative methods to gain in-de…

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…

OBJECTIVE: Previous experiments have demonstrated that BGM0504, a GLP-1R/GIPR dual agonist drug by molecular dynamics-guided optimization, had enhanced agonistic activity compared to tirzepatide. This study aims to investigate its safety, tolerabilit…

OBJECTIVES: Dual glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonists (GLP1RA and GIPRA, respectively) synergise to reduce body weight. Though this synergy depends on receptors within the brain, where an…
