Tirzepatide

Obesity confers substantial cardiometabolic risk. Tirzepatide, a once-weekly dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, produces dose-dependent weight loss in trials, but real-world patient-reported experiences are under-described. We evaluated real-world self…

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases, overweight, type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease increase the risk of cardiovascular events.Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues are recommended by the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of…

BACKGROUND: Concerns have emerged regarding the oncogenic potential of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, particularly in relation to gynecologic malignancies. To date, no consens…

: Since the introduction of the first GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in 2005, there has been a steady increase in the number of drugs available in this group, as well as an expansion of their indications and routes of administration.: The aim of t…

A woman in her early 40s presented with pleuritic chest pain and shortness of breath, which had progressively worsened over 20 days following initiation of tirzepatide (Manjaro). Her D-dimer level was elevated at 1340 ng/mL, prompting a CT pulmonary…

PURPOSE: Approximately one of ten US adults has comorbid obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (COBOSA). Traditionally, sleep medicine management of COBOSA focused on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Recently, tirzepatide (a once-weekly inje…

The rates of increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity in the world are steadily increasing and exceed even the wildest forecasts, which forces specialists to seek, develop and implement more effective therapeutic metho…

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is defined by excessive hepatic lipid accumulation. This study evaluated the therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms of tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, in treat…

ABSTRACT: Glucagon-Like- Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist has an emerging role in obesity management. This meta-analysis and systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of GLP-1 receptor agonists in aiding weight loss and enhancing cardiometaboli…

BACKGROUND: As a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, Tirzepatide (TZP) is a recently approved medication for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity; however…

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists, such as tirzepatide, have transformed the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity through durable glycemic control, weight…

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, including tirzepatide, are increasingly prescribed for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Amid safety concerns raised by regulatory agencies regarding potential associations with suici…

We appreciate the thoughtful commentary by Drs. Dziewierz and Siudak regarding our study comparing tirzepatide versus semaglutide in post-CABG diabetic patients. While we acknowledge the inherent limitations of observational research, our propensity…

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an incretin hormone, plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis by stimulating insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, and delaying gastric emptying. Its therapeutic potential was long realized, leading to t…

: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and chronic hyperglycemia. Recent studies have identified microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs that reg…

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), including Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves' disease, represents the most prevalent organ-specific autoimmunity and a major cause of thyroid dysfunction worldwide. Increasingly, AITD coexists with metabolic disorders…

Obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are estimated to affect 13% and one-third of adults worldwide, respectively. The novel antiobesity medications achieve marked bodyweight loss and improve associated metaboli…

We previously developed LJ-4378, a dual ligand for Aand Aadenosine receptors, as a potential anti-obesity agent. In this study, we compared the anti-obesity effects of LJ-4378 with those of tirzepatide (TZP), a dual agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1…
