A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
INTRODUCTION: Diabetes is a global public health challenge with rising prevalence. This review explores current diabetes understanding, diagnostic and management guidelines, economic impact, and lifestyle modifications as the primary approach. AREAS…
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by disordered breathing during sleep and is associated with major cardiovascular complications; excess adiposity is an etiologic risk factor. Tirzepatide may be a potential treatment. METHODS: We c…
CONTEXT: Efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, a once-weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, have been studied in patients with type 2 diabetes in the global phase 3 SURPASS program. OBJECTIVE:…
INTRODUCTION: This study was aimed at investigating changes in insulin requirements and glycemic outcomes in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using Control IQ (Tandem Diabetes) automated insulin delivery system (AID) over 8 months of tirzepatide tre…
Type 2 diabetes and weight loss are associated with detrimental skeletal health. Incretin-based therapies (GLP-1 receptor agonists, and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists) are used clinically to treat diabetes and obesity. The potential effects of sema…
The challenge of obesity persists globally, requiring effective and safe treatment solutions. This literature review investigates the safety and effectiveness of tirzepatide, a new therapeutic agent, in managing obesity in patients who do not have ty…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article summarizes the medical management of obesity with an emphasis on incretin-based therapeutics that target the neuro-hormonal basis of obesity. RECENT FINDINGS: Medications that mimic the effect of incretins, a group of…
The global prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is estimated at 32.4%, reflecting its growing clinical significance. MASLD, which includes MASLD and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has…
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…
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of resistance training (RT) combined with aerobic training (AT) and Tirzepatide supplementation on lipid profiles, insulin resistance, anthropometric characteristics and…
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…
AIM: To assess the effect of tirzepatide on long-term risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) among people with obesity or overweight without diabetes from SURMOUNT-1. MATERIALS AND METHODS: SURMOUNT-1, a phase 3 trial, evaluated the e…
Tirzepatide is a novel antidiabetic medication a single-molecule, agonist to the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors. It is approved in the USA and EU for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)…
The availability of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) such as liraglutide and semaglutide, and a GLP-1 and glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide coagonist (tirzepatide) represents a paradigm shift in the management of bot…
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaceted metabolic and hormonal disorder in females of reproductive age, frequently associated with cardiac disturbances. This research aimed to explore the protective potential of adropin and/or tirzepatid…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy endpoints of HbA1c and body weight loss after switching from the GLP-1 receptor agonists, semaglutide or dulaglutide, to treatment with the GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA) tirzepatide. METHODS: Models were develope…
AIM: To compare the therapeutic effects of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/ glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) or GLP-1RAs in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We systematically…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a novel dual agonist of glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), has demonstrated greater magnitude of weight loss compared to semaglutide in a phase 3 clinical trial. However, t…
