BACKGROUND: Body weight and health-outcome results of highly effective new GLP-1R agonist medicine trials are usually presented in scientific reports in the form of standard graphs and tables. These representations are not easily translated to what t…

Background Tirzepatide is a novel dual agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, shown to induce substantial weight loss in clinical trials. However, real-world data on the short-term…

BACKGROUND: With the increasing clinical use of tirzepatide, its safety profile has garnered significant attention. This article systematically reviews case reports of tirzepatide-associated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to summarize their characteri…

OBJECTIVE: This study compared the clinical outcomes of tirzepatide versus bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) in adults with metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and obesity. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using…

A woman in her early 40s presented with pleuritic chest pain and shortness of breath, which had progressively worsened over 20 days following initiation of tirzepatide (Manjaro). Her D-dimer level was elevated at 1340 ng/mL, prompting a CT pulmonary…

AIMS: The objective was to assess weight reduction at Weeks 24 and 72 in participants treated with tirzepatide based on weight reduction response after 12 weeks of treatment in the SURMOUNT-1 trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This post hoc analysis inclu…

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Hypothalamic obesity (HO) is a rare but severe form of obesity characterized by hypothalamic damage resulting in hyperphagia and decreased energy expenditure. Tumors involving the hypothalamus, most commonly craniopharyngiomas,…

Tirzepatide, a dual agonist for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors used in type 2 diabetes and obesity management, was investigated for its effects on glioma cells, focusing on its potenti…

OBJECTIVES: Dual glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonists (GLP1RA and GIPRA, respectively) synergise to reduce body weight. Though this synergy depends on receptors within the brain, where an…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: There is limited data about tirzepatide's (TZP) efficacy for weight loss in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the US Collaborative Network in patients with I…

The global prevalence of obesity and its related complications continue to rise, emphasising the need for effective treatment strategies. Tirzepatide, a novel glucagon-like peptide-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide dual agonist, has emer…

BACKGROUND & AIMS: In the SYNERGY-NASH trial for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with stage 2 or 3 fibrosis, tirzepatide, an agonist of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, ef…

GLP-1 has become a prime target for medical treatment due to its significant therapeutic efficacy. However, the activation mechanisms of class B1 GPCRs, including glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP),…

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: This study investigated insulin sensitivity using the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp technique in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes treated with tirzepatide at the low dose of 5 mg over a 12-week treatment period. MET…

OBJECTIVE: We assessed insulin sensitivity and β-cell function in adults with obesity/overweight, without diabetes, treated with tirzepatide for 72 weeks. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This post hoc analysis from the Study of Tirzepatide (LY3298176) i…
