A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is estimated to affect 2% of all pregnancies, and it is associated with numerous adverse perinatal outcomes. Glycemic monitoring and strict glycemic control are required to improve overall outcomes. Insulin is the main…
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…
ObjectiveTo evaluate glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA)-specific associations with hair loss, characterize reported alopecia subtypes and discuss potential underlying mechanisms.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted acr…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Simultaneous control of HbA, lipid profile, BP and body weight is essential for preventing chronic complications of type 2 diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based therapies improve all these variables but whether the dual GLP…
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-…
This study investigated the therapeutic potential of tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, in a mouse model combining obesity, type 2 diabetes, and estrogen deficiency. Four groups were initially established and maintained for 12 weeks unde…
BACKGROUND: Psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are chronic immune-mediated diseases often associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), initially developed…
Tirzepatide is an anti-obesity drug based on dual agonism of the incretin receptors GLP-1R and GIPR. Its anti-obesity effect is largely based on its action of reducing food intake. However, there are indications that tirzepatide exerts effects on adi…
PURPOSE: The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) introduced significant reforms to Medicare Part D in 2025, aiming to reduce medication costs for beneficiaries by eliminating the coverage gap ("donut hole") with a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap. However,…
BACKGROUND: This study examines gastrointestinal adverse events (GIAEs) associated with tirzepatide using bibliometric and pharmacovigilance analyses. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A bibliometric analysis of Web of Science data identified research tre…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide has demonstrated cardiovascular and metabolic benefits in the general population; however, evidence in post-transplant patients is very limited. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the safety a…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are a commonly used class of antidiabetic medications in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity management, and it is important to understand public awareness and attitudes toward G…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a heterogeneous chronic disease in which eating behavior phenotypes may influence treatment response. Yet, anti-obesity medication (AOM) selection is still largely guided by anthropometric and metabolic parameters, with limited…
INTRODUCTION: The global prevalence of obesity is rising, paralleled by an increase in IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). While studies examining the impact of obesity on IBD have yielded conflicting results, some suggest that obesity may increase adv…
Tirzepatide is a novel antidiabetic agent with strong blood-glucose-lowering and body-weight-reducing effects. However, 14% of the patients treated with tirzepatide experienced appetite loss. The incidence of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) h…
PURPOSE: As use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) for Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and weight management increases, emerging research identifies various adverse drug reactions. This study aimed to expand this research base, focusing o…
