A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study presents a budget impact analysis (BIA) conducted in Saudi Arabia, evaluating the cost implications of adopting semaglutide, tirzepatide, or dulaglutide in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patien…
The use of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist tirzepatide has markedly increased for the treatment of weight loss and management of diabetes mellitus. Gastrointestinal adverse e…
Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common specific eating disorder (ED). It is frequently associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, bipolar disorder (BD), anxiety disorders, alcohol and nicotine use disorder, a…
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive liver disease associated with liver-related complications and death. The efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, an agonist of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polyp…
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant risk factor for various cancers, with the impact of anti-diabetic therapies on cancer progression differing across malignancies. Among these therapies, metformin has gained attention for its potential anti-canc…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is defined as steatotic liver disease (SLD) in the presence of one or more cardiometabolic risk factor(s) and the absence o…
: Food cravings involve a strong drive to consume palatable foods irrespective of nutritional status. Importantly, cravings contribute substantially to the obesity epidemic. Managing hunger alone is insufficient for weight management as this relates…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are effective for treating obesity, but the high cost of these medications endangers the financial viability of our health care system. To ensure that these drugs are available to Medicare beneficiaries, phar…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have emerged as game-changers across the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) spectrum: overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and associated chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiov…
Therapy with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists has raised great interest for its beneficial cardiovascular effects in preventing atherosclerosis and heart failure-related outcomes. However, while evidence about atherosclerosis consiste…

Obesity continues to be a significant global health challenge, affecting over 800 million individuals worldwide. Traditional management strategies, including dietary, exercise, and behavioral interventions, often result in insufficient and unsustaina…
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are two incretins that bind to their respective receptors and activate the downstream signaling in various tissues and organs. Both GIP and GLP-1 play roles in reg…
Obesity is a heterogeneous, complex, and chronic disease that has a detrimental impact on disability-adjusted life years across the globe. Recent advancements in our understanding of gut-brain communication at the molecular level have driven the deve…
BACKGROUND: Several evidence demonstrated that glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) reduce the risk of dementia in type 2 diabetes patients by improving memory, learning, and overcoming cognitive impairment. In this study, we elucidat…
CONTEXT: In a clinical study, tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GIP/GLP-1RA), provided superior glycemic control vs the GLP-1RA semaglutide. The physiologic mechanisms are incomplete…
BACKGROUND: Among the currently approved antiobesity medications, the glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor-agonists (GLP-1 RAs) liraglutide and semaglutide, and the dual glucose-dependent-insulinotropic-polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 RA tirzepatide have been su…
INTRODUCTION: The presence of metabolic abnormalities in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and other comorbidities. This analysis compared the effects of tirzepatide (5, 10, and 15 mg) and dulaglutide 0.…
