BACKGROUND: Prescription of obesity medications is increasing, but our understanding of their effects in patients with cardiovascular disorders, such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), is limited. CASE SUMMARY: POTS was exacerbated…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide (TZP), a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, has been showing superior benefits in weight loss and glucose lowering in patients with obesity, while the tissue-specific…
AIMS: This post hoc analysis assessed the efficacy and safety data in tirzepatide-treated Korean patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data specifically from Korean patients treated with tirzepatide 5, 10, or 15 mg in the multic…
INTRODUCTION: The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) complicates glycaemic management and escalates insulin resistance, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies. Tirzepatide, a dual ago…
INTRODUCTION: To evaluate counterregulatory hormonal responses during a hypoglycemic clamp with tirzepatide. METHODS: Participants with type 2 diabetes (N=42) were randomized to tirzepatide (15 mg) or placebo for 12 weeks in a crossover design, with…
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death worldwide, characterized by progressive deposition of lipids, fibrous elements, and calcification in the large arteries. The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis is complex and related to diverse mechanisms…
While Zepbound (Tirzepetide) is the only FDA-approved drug for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), pharmacological options remain limited. Emerging data suggest sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT-2) inhibitors may offer a novel therapeutic benefit in thi…
Positive airway pressure therapy remains the gold standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but challenges with adherence, acceptability, and side effects persist. Interest in pharmacological therapies has grown, culminating in the recent…
BACKGROUND: Current treatment options for youth-onset type 2 diabetes are limited and have demonstrated lower glycaemic efficacy than those for adult-onset type 2 diabetes. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of tirzepatide, a glucose-dependen…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists, such as tirzepatide, have transformed the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity through durable glycemic control, weight…
We present the case of a 52-year-old woman who developed a functional small bowel obstruction despite having no history of abdominal surgery, prior bowel obstruction, or GI interventions. The only notable recent change in her medical history was a do…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide (TZP) has demonstrated efficacy for glycemic control and weight loss in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, previous clinical trials were not conducted under the treatment of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists…
AIMS: To explore how Tirzepatide (TZP) treatment influences diet-related quality of life (QoL) and thus treatment satisfaction. METHODS: This retrospective observational study analyzed 95 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with TZP. We eval…
INTRODUCTION: Persistent genital arousal disorder/genitopelvic dysesthesia (PGAD/GPD) is associated with poor quality of life. Due to social stigma and its heterogeneous nature, many patients suffer without treatment. AIMS: This case presents the fir…
: Tirzepatide (Mounjaro or Zepbound), a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, is approved for type 2 diabetes and weight management. Despite its efficacy, real-world safety data remain limited. This study analyzed post-marketing adverse events (AEs) assoc…
