A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) effectively reduce body weight, their impact on lean mass remains uncertain. This meta-analysis evaluated the effects of GLP-1RAs and GLP-1/GIP receptor dual agonists (GL…
The introduction of tirzepatide marks a significant advancement in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. This dual synthetic polypeptide, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and glucagon-like peptide-1 recepto…
AIMS: To estimate body mass index (BMI) category changes after treatment with tirzepatide as well as potential associations between shifting BMI category and selected cardiometabolic measures and weight-related patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in typ…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate and compare the gastrointestinal adverse effects associated with different GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and multi-target analogs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a Bayesian network me…
AIMS: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major diabetic complication and a leading cause of amputation. While GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) provide cardiovascular and limb protection, the impact of tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agoni…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide 1 agonist, is gaining popularity for its weight reduction, improved glycemic control, and cardiorenal benefits. While it is generally well tolerated, thromboti…
GLP-1 has become a prime target for medical treatment due to its significant therapeutic efficacy. However, the activation mechanisms of class B1 GPCRs, including glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP),…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has become a significant public health issue worldwide, with a pronounced impact in India due to the escalating rates of obe…
American culture encourages overconsumption, fueled by ubiquitous availability and pervasive marketing of ultra-processed foods and other addictive substances. This chronic overindulgence has contributed to rising rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T…
Adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are increasingly overweight or obese, in part due to intensive insulin therapy. Newer non-insulin medications targeting both hyperglycemia and weight loss are approved for people with type 2 diabetes. These drugs als…
AIM: This study aimed to evaluate whether tirzepatide is associated with a reduced atrial fibrillation (AF) burden in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX database. Adults with bot…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate late (week 40 or 42; hereafter, week 40/42) metabolic outcomes by early glycemic response (<20% or ≥20% fasting serum glucose [FSG] reduction at week 4) or weight response (<5% or ≥5% weight reduction at week 8), respectively,…
Obesity affects over 1 billion people worldwide and is linked to more than 230 health complications, with cardiovascular disease being a leading cause of mortality. Losing 5%-10% of body weight is considered clinically significant for improving healt…
