A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Skeletal muscle is the largest insulin-sensitive tissue in the human body, playing a crucial role in glucose homeostasis, body mobility and overall metabolic health. In obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), skeletal muscle undergoes structural, function…
AIMS: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing tirzepatide versus placebo for weight management, with analyses stratified by diabetes status to precisely assess its efficacy and safety in individuals with and without diabetes. METHO…
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…
PURPOSE: Large telehealth companies and smaller aesthetic medicine providers used compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide to meet consumer demand for these drugs during their shortages. In this study, we estimate the documentation rate of compounded f…
BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a complex and multifaceted health condition characterized by a clustering of interconnected metabolic abnormalities, including central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Effec…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate and compare the gastrointestinal adverse effects associated with different GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and multi-target analogs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a Bayesian network me…
Obesity remains a major global health challenge, driving type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other complications. Despite effective lifestyle and surgical interventions, pharmacotherapy uptake has historically been limited. Injectable GLP-1…
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, and multifactorial disease with rising prevalence and substantial health and economic burdens. Despite significant advances in both medical and surgical treatments, clinicians and patients still face a lack of clear,…
UNLABELLED: Tirzepatide is a medication capable of controlling blood glucose levels through the dual agonism of GIP and GLP-1 receptors. In particular, GLP-1 reduces food intake and delays gastric emptying. We report the case of a 66-year-old woman h…
INTRODUCTION: To evaluate real-world hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and weight change in adults initiating treatment with tirzepatide (dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist [GLP-1 RA]) or injectable se…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between metabolic and histological responses in a phase 2 trial of tirzepatide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This is a participant-level post hoc analys…
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective analysis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of GLP-1 agonist therapy upon the incidence of pseudarthrosis in patients undergoing multilevel cervical spinal fusion. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The rising prevalence of obes…
BACKGROUND: Prior studies showed worse outcomes in obese inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, especially those related to hospitalizations, surgery, and steroid-free remission. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have demonstra…
Tirzepatide has demonstrated greater efficacy than semaglutide in improving glycemic control and reducing body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the optimal tirzepatide dose following a switch from 1.0 mg of semaglutid…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists now serve as therapeutic agents for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) beyond their original use for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This review combines molecular mechanisms with clinical evide…
AIMS: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of tirzepatide on heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An updated systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, The…
AIMS: We investigated changes in eating behavior associated with the administration of tirzepatide and evaluated any changes in diet-related QOL due to tirzepatide. METHODS: The study included 60 outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had been…
