OBJECTIVE: To examine whether initiation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) is associated with seizure recurrence and related outcomes in adults with epilepsy and type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort stu…
AIMS: Targeting the glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) is of growing interest for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, though the optimal approach remains unclear. Both GIPR agonism and antagonism, respectively, incorporate…
IMPORTANCE: In the SURMOUNT-4 trial, most adults with obesity who had tirzepatide withdrawn following a 36-week treatment regained weight. The association between the degree of weight regain and cardiometabolic parameters after tirzepatide withdrawal…
OBJECTIVE: Tirzepatide shows benefits on cardiovascular (CV) parameters and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in clinical trials, but real-world data, especially for type 2 diabetes (T2D), are limited. This systematic review and meta-analysi…
AIMS: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is among the leading causes of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This study evaluated whether initiation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) post-AMI improves cardiovascular…
AIMS: This analysis aimed to assess the influence of selected baseline factors on tirzepatide treatment response in Japanese patients with obesity disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a prespecified subgroup analysis of the SURMOUNT-J trial. Japa…
BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery has long been established as an effective treatment option for obesity and diabetes [Kalainov et al. in J Am Acad Orthop Surg [32(10):427-438, 2025] and Ogden et al. in JAMA 311(8):806-806, 2025. 10.1001/jama.2014.732].…
OBJECTIVE: This study compared the efficacy of metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), including dual GLP-1/GIP analogues, for weight and metabolic outcomes in adults with obesity. METHODS: A network meta-analysis o…
Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown substantial weight-loss efficacy in clinical trials, though typically at higher doses and longer treatment durations. Evidence on the short-term real-world effectiveness of low-dose tirzepatid…
AIM: Insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell failure are key characteristics of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Impaired β-cell function is associated with loss of β-cell identity, resulting in β-cell dedifferentiation or trans-differentiation to other endoc…
OBJECTIVES: Youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and obesity face challenges in achieving optimal glycemic control and experience higher risk for long-term complications. While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have shown weight and gly…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs)-along with the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1RA tirzepatide-are widely acknowledged for their efficacy in managing both type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, with exp…
OBJECTIVE: Identifying social and economic factors associated with initiation of semaglutide or tirzepatide may inform strategies to support equitable uptake. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using 100% of Medicare c…
AIMS: Ramadan fasting poses challenges for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to increased risks of hypoglycemia and metabolic fluctuations. Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown marked efficacy in glycemic control…
Obesity is a global health crisis, projected to affect over one billion adults by 2030. Lifestyle modification strategies-diet, physical activity, and behavioral therapy-have achieved only modest and often unsustainable outcomes. Pharmacotherapy has…
AIMS: Pharmacotherapy for metabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is reserved for steatohepatitis (MASH) with moderate Fibrosis Grades 2-3. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) of clinically available medications with biopsy data were eval…
PURPOSE: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), has shown superior efficacy in glycemic control, weight loss, and cardiometabolic outcomes compared to GLP-1 RAs alone.…
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…
A 63-year-old woman with obesity presented with severe postprandial hypoglycemia that worsened after starting tirzepatide for weight loss. Further evaluation led to the diagnosis of insulinoma. This case suggests that the use of tirzepatide can provo…
