A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide‑1 receptor agonists (GLP‑1 RA), such as semaglutide and tirzepatide were originally developed for treatment of type 2 diabetes and have shown significant weight loss effects. This has led to increasing off-label use…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: There is limited data about tirzepatide's (TZP) efficacy for weight loss in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the US Collaborative Network in patients with I…
Triglycerides and T cells play a key role in atherosclerosis, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moderately elevated triglycerides have emerged as a causal risk factor, and T cells are a prominent component of atherosclerotic plaques.…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has recently been introduced in Japan; however, there are limited studies on its effectiveness in Japanese patients with type 2…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have demonstrated significant cardiometabolic benefits, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Their role in heart failure (HF) is gaining increasing attention, with growing evi…
Successful treatment of obesity requires a multidisciplinary approach including dietary strategy, physical activity, and behavioral modification. The seven FDA-approved anti-obesity medications are phentermine, orlistat, phentermine/topiramate ER, na…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/GLP-1 receptor agonists (GIP/GLP-1 RAs) are emerging as effective treatments for obesity and cardiometabolic disease. This study evaluated physicia…
Background Tirzepatide is a novel dual agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, shown to induce substantial weight loss in clinical trials. However, real-world data on the short-term…
Obesity has become a significant global challenge, highlighting the need for effective weight loss strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have emerged as a promising solution, with tirzepatide gaining significant popularity…
PURPOSE: Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, shows promise for weight loss, but its safety compared to GLP-1 receptor agonists requires (liraglutide, semaglutide) clarification for clinical decision-making. This systematic review evaluates their s…
RATIONALE: Obesity is a complex chronic condition linked to various comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia, with a significant global burden. Semaglutide, a widely used glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), can…
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effect of Tirzepatide on metabolic profiles, kidney function, and gut microbiota composition in mice with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and clarify the relationship between gut microbiota alterations and the renoprot…
Newer developments in endocrine pharmacology have blurred the distinction between biosimilars and generics. The originator semaglutide, for example, is a biologically active compound, but later versions are chemically synthesized generics. Tirzepatid…

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes management involves using various oral hypoglycemic agents, including new glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT (Ope…
