A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: As obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain a public health issue, we aim to elaborate on their complex relationship regarding pathogenetic mechanisms and therapeutic potential as well. The purpose of this review is to enhan…
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…
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) are gut-derived peptide hormones that potentiate glucose-dependent insulin secretion. The clinical development of GIP receptor-GLP-1 receptor (GIPR-GLP-1R) multiag…
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor co-agonist which is approved for glucose-lowering therapy in type 2 diabetes. Here, we explored its effects on beta cell function, insulin sensitivity and insulin-independent glucose elimination (glucose e…
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…
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MALFD) is a highly prevalent and progressive disease, strongly related to obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. It comprises a spectrum of liver pathology from steatosis (fat accumulation i…
INTRODUCTION: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who require intensification of basal insulin therapy need treatment options that can improve their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and translate into better outcomes. These analyses compared pa…
To date, no meta-analysis has analyzed the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide as an anti-obesity medication in individuals without diabetes. This meta-analysis was undertaken to address this knowledge gap.Electronic databases were searched for random…
Despite the risk of atherosclerosis has progressively declined over the past few decades, subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continue to experience substantial excess of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)-related events. Theref…
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,…
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…
Incretin gut hormones, especially glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), raise a huge interest in diabetology. GLP-1 receptor agonists have gained a privileged role in the management of type 2 diabetes…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide is a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)-glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist being evaluated for the treatment of various metabolic disorders. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized data…
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated baseline characteristics of participants with early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the SURPASS program and tirzepatide's effects on glycemic control, body weight (BW), and cardiometabolic markers. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS…
BACKGROUND: Treating obesity may be a pathway to prevent and control hypertension. In the SURMOUNT-1 trial in people with obesity or overweight with weight-related complications, 72-week tirzepatide treatment led to clinically meaningful body weight…
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…
BACKGROUND: Nicotine use and nicotine use disorder (NUD) are the leading causes of preventable death in the United States. Persons with mental disorders (e.g., bipolar disorder) are differentially susceptible to nicotine use. Glucagon-like peptide-1…
Obesity has become a global epidemic in the modern world, significantly impacting the global healthcare economy. Lifestyle interventions remain the primary approach to managing obesity, with medical therapy considered a secondary option, often used i…
