A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
There is a growing literature on the concurrent use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in patients with psychiatric disorders, and their safety and risks, in addition to potential therapeutic benefits in some disorders. The 2 ca…

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects 32 million people worldwide and is responsible for tens of billions of dollars in healthcare expenditure annually, with costs primarily driven by hospitalizations. HFpEF is notoriously di…
BACKGROUND: Acquired hypothalamic obesity (HO) lacks well-described adult pharmacotherapy outcomes, creating a unique clinical challenge for providers tasked with the treatment of patients with hypothalamic obesity. METHODS: We conducted a retrospect…
Dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists (DACRAs) offer a promising strategy for treating obesity and related metabolic disorders but are limited by aggregation and the short half-lives of native peptides. Here, we report the design of a long-act…
New obesity medications have demonstrated efficacy in trials, but their real-world deployment is partly limited by the absence of approaches that identify individuals for treatment based on risks for obesity-related complications. Here we present a r…
AIMS: To evaluate 6-month weight-loss outcomes, treatment persistence, and safety of low- to moderate-dose tirzepatide in a real-world clinical setting. METHODS: This multicentre retrospective observational study evaluated adults with obesity who ini…
BACKGROUND: Nutritional deficiencies are common among people with obesity, before and during treatment, such as with very-low-calorie diets and metabolic/bariatric surgery. Obesity management medications (OMMs) can reduce appetite and dietary intake,…
: Obesity has a huge impact on global healthcare and economy. Consequently, the pharmaceutical industry has recently introduced novel anti-obesity drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, which can yield remarkable weight reduction in patients, whi…
AIMS: There is growing evidence that the GLP-1 system is implicated in alcohol and other substance use disorders, and that GLP-1-based therapies may have therapeutic relevance in alcohol use disorder (AUD). We aimed to determine the impact of GLP-1 b…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual incretin therapies produce substantial weight loss and cardiometabolic improvement, yet treatment discontinuation is common and associated with adverse metabolic consequences.…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To examine the role of pharmacologic obesity treatment in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), with a focus on efficacy, safety, and clinical positioning in the context of T2D-specific metabolic and therapeutic challenges. RECENT FIN…
AIM: To evaluate the effects of tirzepatide on physical function in adults with overweight or obesity. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to July 20, 2025 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing once-weekly tir…
Anti-obesity drugs should be offered as initial treatment of overweight and obesity for adults with weight-related comorbidities and for those at high risk of complications, and as a component of first-line treatment for patients with obesity and ove…
Lipedema is a chronic, progressive adipose tissue disorder characterized by disproportionate subcutaneous fat accumulation, pain, edema, and resistance to conventional weight-loss strategies. Although traditionally conceptualized as a disease of adip…
OBJECTIVE: To compare 1-year changes in estimated 10-year and lifetime atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) versus glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) therapy among adults…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a heterogeneous chronic disease in which eating behavior phenotypes may influence treatment response. Yet, anti-obesity medication (AOM) selection is still largely guided by anthropometric and metabolic parameters, with limited…
