BACKGROUND: Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and obesity have significant disability and frequent exacerbations of heart failure. We hypothesized that tirzepatide, a long-acting agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic…

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a known risk factor for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and is considered a distinct phenotype with more concentric remodeling. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is also increased in obesity-related HFpEF a…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk of biliary diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or obesity treated with tirzepatide. METHODS: Literature searches were performed using the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CNKI data…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of tirzepatide on weight, diabetes control, and insulin requirements, and its safety profile in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and overweight or obesity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of adu…

Tirzepatide is a novel drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic weight management, and there is an urgent need to explore its safety profile. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database provides a reliable pathway fo…

OBJECTIVES: Dual incretin agonists are among the most effective pharmaceutical treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes to date. Such therapeutics can target two receptors, such as the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor and the glucose-depend…

BACKGROUND: Emerging data on cardiovascular outcomes, specifically major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), are being reported from various trials involving incretin mimetics, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and glucos…

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by disordered breathing during sleep and is associated with major cardiovascular complications. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) as an important treatment for obesit…

INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide is a once-weekly dual agonist, acting on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. It is approved at the same doses (5, 10 and 15 mg) for both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the dose-response relationship of GLP-1 RAs in reducing glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body weight, and incidence of adverse events among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS: This systematic review and network meta-a…

OBJECTIVE: No meta-analysis has been published comparing the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide vs once-daily basal insulins in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) inadequately controlled with oral anti-hyperglycemic drugs. This meta-analysis was con…

The study aimed to verify the effect of Tirzepatide (Tzp, a dual agonist GIP/GLP-1) on intestinal health and microbiota balance in an obese diabetic ovariectomized (Ovx) mice model. Female C57BL/6 mice with Ovx and diet-induced obesity with diabetes…

INTRODUCTION: This analysis aimed to evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of tirzepatide 5 mg versus dulaglutide 0.75 mg (both administered once weekly) in people not achieving glycemic control on metformin, based on the results of the head-to-h…

OBJECTIVE: Tirzepatide, a long-acting, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, reduced urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in people with type…

Tirzepatide is a first-in-class dual agonist at receptors for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) for the treatment of T2D and obesity, with unprecedented efficacy for glycaemic control, reductions i…
