A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
INTRODUCTION: Recently, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) received reports of suicidal thoughts and self-injury associated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) liraglutide and semaglutide. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Herein,…
This systematic review is registered with CRD42024507397 protocol number and aims to compare the known data about retatrutide on long-term cardiovascular (CV) protection with tirzepatide, an incretin with recent proven CV benefits.The inclusion crite…
PURPOSE: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and CKD-related disability and mortality are increasing despite the recent advances in diabetes management. The dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist ti…
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…
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…
Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are an emerging class of medications used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and weight loss, with demonstrated efficacy in reducing hemoglobin A1c levels, body mass index, and adverse cardiovascular ev…
Background Drug shortages have become a significant challenge globally, affecting healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. This study aimed to assess drug shortages' prevalence, causes, and impact at a tertiary care hospital in Dubai, the United Ara…
OBJECTIVE: Tirzepatide, a novel GIP and GLP1 agonist, has been extensively examined in clinical trials. However, specific data on its adverse drug events (ADEs) remain limited. This study aims to comprehensively assess real-world ADEs associated with…
BACKGROUND: Endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) regulate islet cell function. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have been associated with an elevated risk of acute pancreatitis. Data on t…
Obesity is a complex and chronic condition that presents a significant global health challenge, resulting in a wide range of health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, therefore diminishing the overall well-being of numerous indivi…
AIM: Tirzepatide, a newly developed dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has received approval for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is currently being studied for its potential in…
Tirzepatide is a first-in-class glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist approved as for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A population-based pharmacokinetic (PK) model was developed from 19 p…
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…
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…
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of resistance training (RT) combined with aerobic training (AT) and Tirzepatide supplementation on lipid profiles, insulin resistance, anthropometric characteristics and…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review ongoing and planned clinical trials of weight loss among individuals with or at high risk of heart failure. RECENT FINDINGS: Intentional weight loss via semaglutide among persons with heart failure and preserved ejection…
BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome is characterized as the co-occurrence of interrelated cardiovascular risk factors, including insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Once weekly tirzepatide is approved in…
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…
INTRODUCTION: Obesity has emerged as a global pandemic, with its prevalence notably increasing during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2019. In response, many individuals have turned to pharmacological interventions, including antidiabetic medications, as me…
Potent incretin-based therapy shows promise for the treatment of obesity along with reduced incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease and obesity. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of the increti…
