Tirzepatide

The development of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) for type 2 diabetes and obesity was followed by data establishing the cardiorenal benefits of GLP-1RA in select patient populations. In ongoing trials investigators are interrogat…

OBJECTIVE: This prospective study aimed to describe the clinical course in terms of glycemic outcomes, body weight, and adverse events during the first 12 weeks following a switch from glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) directly to…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on glycaemic control, body weight, and lipid profile in adults with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN: Systematic review and network meta-analysi…

PURPOSE: The objectives of this review are to summarize the role of gastric motor functions in the development of satiation (defined broadly as postprandial fullness) and satiety (reduced appetite or postponing desire to eat after a meal) and their i…

Obesity and hypertension have become an international health issue, with detrimental consequences on patients. Obesity and hypertension share common pathophysiological mechanisms, such as overactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and the symp…

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health issue worldwide. It is the most common liver disease in Western countries, andits global prevalence is estimated to be up to 35%. However, its diagnosis may be elusive, because liver…

CONTEXT: In previous SURPASS studies tirzepatide reduced hemoglobin glycated A1c (HbA1c) and body weight and improved markers of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function to a greater extent than comparators. OBJECTIVE: Explore changes in biomarkers of…

OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have shown notable advancements in managing blood sugar control. Nevertheless, there remains a gap in real-world data regarding the variation in acute pancreatitis (AP) risk among diffe…

AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety profiles of recent innovations in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which include once-weekly formulations such as tirzepatide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide rec…

AIMS: To investigate effects of tirzepatide, a dual receptor agonist for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), on eating behaviors. METHODS: Eating behaviors were evaluated by using a validated questionnair…

INTRODUCTION: One billion people live with obesity. The most promising medications for its treatment are incretin-based therapies, based on enteroendocrine peptides released in response to oral nutrients, specifically glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)…

Obesity is a chronic disease caused primarily by the imbalance between the amount of calories supplied to the body and energy expenditure. Not only does it deteriorate the quality of life, but most importantly it increases the risk of cardiovascular…

This systematic review is registered with CRD42024507397 protocol number and aims to compare the known data about retatrutide on long-term cardiovascular (CV) protection with tirzepatide, an incretin with recent proven CV benefits.The inclusion crite…

INTRODUCTION: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who require intensification of basal insulin therapy need treatment options that can improve their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and translate into better outcomes. These analyses compared pa…

INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide is a novel glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. In the SURPASS-AP-Combo trial, once-weekly tirzepatide was associated with improved glycemic control and weight loss versu…

AIM: Tirzepatide (Tzp), a novel dual agonist glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1, is approved for treating insulin resistance and obesity, and menopausal women consuming a high-calorie diet are a target to study the T…
