A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are employed extensively in the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, there is a paucity of real-world data on their safety and tolerability for metabolic and nutritional adverse eve…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: With obesity affecting over one billion people globally, understanding and managing this complex condition is more crucial than ever. This review explores the emerging role of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) in weight management,…
IMPORTANCE: Obesity affects approximately 19% of women and 14% of men worldwide and is associated with increased morbidity. Antiobesity medications (AOMs) modify biological processes that affect appetite and significantly improve outcomes, such as ty…
Despite the availability of a wide range of antihypertensive agents, a significant proportion of individuals with resistant hypertension (RHTN) struggle to achieve blood pressure (BP) control. Obesity ranks among the most significant modifiable risk…
AIMS: Tirzepatide is a first-in-class combination glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) approved for treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chr…
Companion animal obesity has emerged as a significant veterinary health concern globally, with escalating rates posing challenges for preventive and therapeutic interventions. Obesity not only leads to immediate health problems but also contributes t…
The present study is focused on the sensitive determination of newly FDA-approved glucagon-like-peptide agonists semaglutide (SEM) and tirzepatide (TIR). Direct, selective and label-free spectrofluorometric method was proposed and validated (accordin…
The effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists on calcium homeostasis is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between GLP-1R agonist use and the risk of hypocalcemia and/or hypercalcemia, as well as oth…
Diabetes is a chronic illness that can become debilitating owing to its microvascular and macrovascular complications. Its prevalence is increasing and so is its cost. Diabetes, particularly type 2, appears to have a very close relationship with obes…
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist used for treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adults and was recently approved for treatment of obesity. To determine the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of tirzepati…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have gained increasing attention for their potential benefits in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Most supportive evidence of a kidney-protective effec…
Second-generation anti-obesity medications are more effective than their first-generation predecessors, resulting in an average weight loss of 15% when combined with lifestyle modifications. This article examines the efficacy and therapeutic implicat…
In 2005, exenatide became the first approved glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Since then, numerous GLP-1 RAs have been approved, including tirzepatide, a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotro…
Tirzepatide, a novel GLP-1/GIP dual receptor agonist, shows significant advantages in glycemic management and weight control. By summarizing the results of the SURMOUNT and SURPASS clinical trials, we evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide i…
OBJECTIVE: This post hoc analysis assessed change from baseline to week 52 in glycemic parameters for tirzepatide (5, 10, 15 mg) versus insulin degludec (SURPASS-3 trial) and glargine (SURPASS-4 trial) in people with type 2 diabetes and different bas…
BACKGROUND: Newer diabetes medications may have beneficial effects on mortality, cardiovascular outcomes, and renal outcomes. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and harms of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhib…
OBJECTIVE: This network meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide compared to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and other weight loss drugs in the treatment of overweight and obesity. METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase,…
