A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and their analogues have emerged as effective pharmacotherapies for obesity. OBJECTIVE: To assess the short-term cost-effectiveness of subcutaneous tirzepatide, semaglutide, liraglutide, and oral…
INTRODUCTION: Diabetes management involves using various oral hypoglycemic agents, including new glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT (Ope…
Obesity confers substantial cardiometabolic risk. Tirzepatide, a once-weekly dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, produces dose-dependent weight loss in trials, but real-world patient-reported experiences are under-described. We evaluated real-world self…
: Since the introduction of the first GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in 2005, there has been a steady increase in the number of drugs available in this group, as well as an expansion of their indications and routes of administration.: The aim of t…
AIMS: This real-world study compared clinical outcomes between tirzepatide treatment and bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) in adults with obesity. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used the TriNetX network to identify adults with a body mass i…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and gastric inhibitory peptide receptor agonist, is an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, resulting in significant improvements in glycated hemoglobin levels and weight r…
Obesity is a growing global epidemic and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, previous weight loss interventions have largely failed to demonstrate consistent cardiovascular benefits. While lifestyle modifications remain the corne…
AIMS: The goal of this observational, single-cohort, pre-post study was to describe the association of tirzepatide with glycaemic control and weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a US commercially insured population. MATERIALS AND ME…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have emerged as an efficacious treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and have demonstrated substantial weight loss effects. This systematic review compares two prevalent GLP-1…
Obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are estimated to affect 13% and one-third of adults worldwide, respectively. The novel antiobesity medications achieve marked bodyweight loss and improve associated metaboli…
. Obesity as a chronic disease: the key role of new therapies. The global prevalence of overweight and obesity has risen dramatically, with obesity now recognized as a chronic, progressive, and multifactorial disease linked to major health complicati…
BACKGROUND: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is crucial for overall energy homeostasis as a thermogenic organ with high metabolic activity. While the recruitment of BAT contributes to improved glycemic and lipid homeostasis, the exact molecular mechanisms…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are approved for weight loss, diabetes, and cardiovascular risk reduction. Despite widespread use, GLP-1RAs have not been well studied in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We exam…
INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists including Mounjaro and Ozempic, are increasingly used for weight management. Assessing the attitudes and beliefs of current and future healthcare professionals is important considering t…
AIMS: To evaluate whether weight-loss interventions are associated with obesity-associated cancers (OAC) in individuals with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort study utilised the TriNetX fed…
OBJECTIVE: This study compared clinical outcomes of tirzepatide versus bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the TriNetX Global Collabo…
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and multiple malignancies, and epidemiology reveals an increasing burden of obesity-related cancers, in particular liver, pancreatic and endometrial. Obesity is also clear…
The new European clinical practice guidelines from three scientific societies (European Association for the Study of the Liver, European Association for the Study of Diabetes and European Association for the Study of Obesity) on the management of met…
AIMS: Post-marketing surveillance has indicated potential suicide and self-injury signals in patients taking GLP-1RAs for weight management, despite no current psychiatric warnings in labeling. This study evaluated the association between GLP-1RAs an…
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effect of Tirzepatide on metabolic profiles, kidney function, and gut microbiota composition in mice with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and clarify the relationship between gut microbiota alterations and the renoprot…
