A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
This report examines a case of systemic hypersensitivity to tirzepatide in a patient with type 2 diabetes. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®), a dual agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, has…
OBJECTIVE: Interventions that combat obesity and its associated metabolic perturbations may decrease incidence and improve outcomes of endometrial cancer (EC). Potential options for weight loss include pharmacotherapeutic interventions such as tirzep…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), initially for type 2 diabetes mellitus, show promise in promoting weight loss and improving heart health in obese individuals without diabetes. Our goal was to examine existing researc…
OBJECTIVE: The objective is to assess the effectiveness and safety of tirzepatide, liraglutide, and SGLT2i in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: An inquiry was undertaken within the electronic database spanning from its inception to…
Obesity places patients at higher risk for numerous problems, including prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor ago…
OBJECTIVES: Tirzepatide belongs to a new class of anti-diabetic agents that stimulate both glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptors, resulting in a greater blood glucose-lowering effect and body weight reduct…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, including tirzepatide (Mounjaro), are widely used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. While gastrointestinal side effects are common, acute pancreatitis remains a rare but signific…
This narrative review highlights the degree to which new antiobesity medications based on gut-derived nutrient-stimulated hormones (incretins) cause loss of lean mass, and the importance of resistance exercise to preserve muscle. Glucagon-like peptid…
AIM: Tirzepatide (Tzp), a novel dual agonist glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1, is approved for treating insulin resistance and obesity, and menopausal women consuming a high-calorie diet are a target to study the T…
AIM: This study compared the 5-year incidence rate of macrovascular and microvascular complications for tirzepatide, semaglutide and insulin glargine in individuals with type 2 diabetes, using the Building, Relating, Assessing, and Validating Outcome…
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…
The prevalence of obesity with various complications is increasing rapidly in Korea. Although lifestyle modification is fundamental in obesity treatment, more effective treatment tools are required. Many advances in obesity treatment have been report…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a major global health concern, and obesity and diabetes mellitus have been found to be important risk factors. Tirzepatide a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP…
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…
BACKGROUND Tirzepatide is a long-acting glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist administered via subcutaneous injection for weight reduction and treating type 2 diabetes. CASE REPORT We…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide is a novel once-week dual GIP/GLP-1 RA agonist approved for T2DM and its role to reduce cardiovascular events remains to be elucidated. The goal of this trial is to assess how tirzepatide affects the progression of atheroscl…
This case series explores the association between tirzepatide-assisted weight loss and the development of foot drop due to peroneal nerve neuropathy, a phenomenon known as slimmer's paralysis. Two cases are presented of patients who experienced rapid…
