A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The development of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) for type 2 diabetes and obesity was followed by data establishing the cardiorenal benefits of GLP-1RA in select patient populations. In ongoing trials investigators are interrogat…
Tirzepatide (LY3298176), a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, is fatty-acid-modified and 39-amino acid linear peptide, which ameliorates learning and memory impairment in diabetic rats. However, the specific molecular mechanism remains unknown. In the p…
AIMS: To compare the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide 5, 10 and 15 mg with subcutaneous semaglutide 0.5 mg as second-line treatment for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, after metformin monotherapy, using adjusted indirect treatment comparisons…
PURPOSE: Chronic kidney disease is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus. Tirzepatide is the first dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist approved for glycemic control in patients with ty…
Obesity is becoming more frequent and has several negative health impacts. Recent advances in weight management strategies have primarily resided in pharmaceutical treatments, and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have shown great…
Obesity is an exacerbated public health challenge, increasing the risk of several diseases and mortality while deteriorating the quality of life. There is significant dedication to exploring obesity therapies using glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) ago…
CONTEXT: In previous SURPASS studies tirzepatide reduced hemoglobin glycated A1c (HbA1c) and body weight and improved markers of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function to a greater extent than comparators. OBJECTIVE: Explore changes in biomarkers of…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, is a promising therapeutic option for obesity and metabolic disorders. METHODS: Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines across PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. Included RCTs and obs…
AIM: Normoglycaemia was achieved in a significant proportion of Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes in two phase 3 studies of tirzepatide. This post hoc exploratory analysis aimed to identify predictive factors associated with normoglycaemia a…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
Type 2 diabetes represents a growing challenge for global public health. Its prevalence is increasing worldwide, and, like obesity, it affects progressively younger populations compared to the past, with potentially greater impact on chronic complica…
BACKGROUND: Obesity in patients with IBD is increasing, accompanied by an increase in metabolic comorbidities. Although GLP-1 agonists have shown promise in weight reduction, their efficacy and safety in patients with IBD are underexplored. This stud…
BACKGROUND: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are significant global health challenges, with adipose tissue inflammation being a pivotal contributor to metabolic dysfunction. The involvement of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) in obesity-a…
BACKGROUND: Obesity has been established as a significant risk factor for osteoarthritis. Anti-obesity medications (AOMs) have demonstrated efficacy in weight management. However, potential impact on osteoarthritis risk remains uncertain. METHODS: Th…
Tirzepatide is a unimolecular dual agonist of both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, which has been developed as once-weekly injection first for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM),…
Guidelines for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) emphasize the importance of lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. However, for many people, these changes can be difficult to maintain…
