A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Weight recidivism following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is common. Adjuvant treatments include new glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide receptor agonists (GLP1/GIP-RA) or revisional endoscopic sleeve g…
Obesity is strongly associated with an increased risk of heart failure. Recent studies indicate that epicardial adipose tissue plays a critical role in the development of obesity-related cardiomyopathy. This distinct visceral fat depot, located betwe…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related progressive disorder that leads to dopaminergic loss and subsequent motor dysfunction. Current therapies mainly deal with symptomatic effects, and hence, therapies targeting progressive neurodegeneration nee…
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…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk of biliary diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or obesity treated with tirzepatide. METHODS: Literature searches were performed using the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CNKI data…
BACKGROUND: The introduction of incretin mimetics (IMs), including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) such as liraglutide and semaglutide, as well as dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor co-agonists (GLP…
INTRODUCTION: Reports of suicidality associated with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have been reported to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We previously reported an i…
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…
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…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the dose-response relationship of GLP-1 RAs in reducing glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body weight, and incidence of adverse events among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS: This systematic review and network meta-a…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide is commonly used to manage obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Serious neurological symptoms due to tirzepatide were rarely reported. Understanding and managing the adverse events followed by medications have an important ro…
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…
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic the actions of GLP-1 and are used to manage type 2 diabetes and help with weight loss. In recent times, antidiabetic GLP-1 receptor agonists have been misused widely for weight loss. This review article focuses on some s…
BACKGROUND: The increasing prevalence of obesity represents a significant and growing challenge in orthopaedic surgery. This is particularly true for patients with morbid obesity, who have a significantly increased risk of postoperative complications…
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…
