A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND: Compounded versions of tirzepatide are widely available in the U.S. in the form of fixed‑dose combinations of tirzepatide and various analogs of vitamin B12. These combinations are mass marketed in the U.S. and other countries as comparab…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is highly effective for glycaemic control and weight reduction. However, its real-world cardiovascular adverse ev…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor (GLP1R) agonists and tirzepatide, a dual GLP1R and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist, have become fundamental in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity due to their pot…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are used for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight or obesity, but their association with cancer is unclear. PURPOSE: To investigate the risk for obesity-related cancer associa…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis of adipose tissue; however, the extent to which these pathological features persist during pharmacologically induced weight loss remains poorly understood. This study investiga…
(), a novel highly potent GLP-1/GIP dual agonist, was engineered via computational alanine scanning and rational acylation design. Nonacylated() showed stable receptor binding and higher affinity than nonacylatedin molecular dynamics simulations and…
BACKGROUND: Sepsis-associated acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by unregulated systemic inflammation, disruption of the redox balance, and impaired pulmonary function. Tirzepatide, a synthetic dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist possessing ant…
BACKGROUND: In the SURPASS-CVOT trial, tirzepatide, a dual incretin agonist that targets the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, was shown to be non-inferior to dulaglutide for the primary composite car…
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…

We report a case of interstitial nephritis, likely secondary to tirzepatide. A 66-year-old man with type 2 diabetes, stage 3b chronic kidney disease, and other metabolic comorbidities experienced a progressive decline in renal function. Serum creatin…
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…
INTRODUCTION: obesity is a chronic and relapsing disease. Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, has demonstrated weight loss exceeding 20 % at higher doses. However, real-world data remain limited, particularly regarding body compositio…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Little is known about glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) use in multiple sclerosis. We described the frequency and characteristics associated with use. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of NARCOMS Registry…
BACKGROUND: The comparative cardiovascular (CV) efficacy and safety of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and established cardiovascular disease (CVD) or high CV risk remain uncertain. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, W…
Obesity is a chronic disease with a variety of metabolic, mechanical and psychosocial complications, including a high risk of developing prediabetes and subsequently type 2 diabetes mellitus. The choice of antidiabetic treatment as well as concomitan…
