A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The number of patients taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) is increasing. Beyond diabetes and weight management, these medications have various effects within the head and neck with both beneficial and potentially adverse clin…
Incretins have improved the management of obesity and its related complications, but maintaining these health benefits requires ongoing administration, which can be challenging. Orforglipron, a once-daily oral nonpeptide glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist, is increasingly prescribed for obesity and glycemic control. Its effects on gastric emptying, appetite regulation, and rapid weig…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s), including semaglutide and tirzepatide, are rapidly transforming weight management practices and public discourse surrounding bodies, health, and responsibility. Although biomedical outcomes of GLP-1…
Tirzepatide,a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, is increasingly used for weight management in both patients with diabetes and patients without diabetes. While gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea are common, severe metabolic complications…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The rising global prevalence of obesity has catalyzed the development of potent glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. This narrative review evaluates the efficacy, safety, and practical considerations of injectable s…
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…
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…
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical characteristics of weight loss drugs (WLDs) users in Norway. DESIGN: Nested population-based case-control study. SETTING: Nationwide healthcare registries with data on dispensed medications and healthcare diagn…
Two out of 5 US adults live with obesity, generating substantial clinical and economic burden. Recent glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), including semaglutide and tirzepatide, demonstrate significant weight loss and cardiometaboli…
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…
The rapid proliferation of anti-obesity medications (AOMs), including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 agonist tirzepatide, and non-incretin agents, including orl…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has emerged as an effective therapy for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Its dual-incretin mechanism…
Tirzepatide, a dual agonist for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, has shown robust efficacy in treating diabetes and obesity, and in obese patients with heart failure with preserved ejec…
(), 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 Cutaneous allodynia is reported as a pain resulting from a stimulus that does not normally provoke or elicit pain and an altered quality of sensation characterized by extreme sensitivity to touch or mild temperature change. Glucagon-like p…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual incretin therapies produce substantial weight loss and cardiometabolic improvement, yet treatment discontinuation is common and associated with adverse metabolic consequences.…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has demonstrated robust weight loss and glycemic benefits in randomized controlled trials. However, real-world data comparing its e…
