A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
OBJECTIVE: This study examined racial differences in weight loss and clinical response to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) therapy among adults with obesity using real-world data. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed our institution…
Euglycemic ketoacidosis is metabolic acidosis with elevated ketone bodies despite normal or mildly elevated glucose levels and has rarely been reported in nonobese individuals without diabetes using tirzepatide. A 23-year-old Japanese woman without o…
Developed to treat type 2 diabetes, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with diabetes, and later in obese patients with cardiovascular disease w…
Anti-obesity drugs should be offered as initial treatment of overweight and obesity for adults with weight-related comorbidities and for those at high risk of complications, and as a component of first-line treatment for patients with obesity and ove…
BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity are major contributors to cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) disease. Tirzepatide (TZP-MJ), originally approved for type 2 diabetes (T2D), has demonstrated significant weight loss beyond glycemic improvement. Des…
BACKGROUND: Psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are chronic immune-mediated diseases often associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), initially developed…
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the safety of compounded glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) compared to non-compounded formulations using the U.S. FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A retrospe…
OBJECTIVES: Youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and obesity face challenges in achieving optimal glycemic control and experience higher risk for long-term complications. While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have shown weight and gly…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist use and interest in using medications for weight loss among adults (≥ 18 years) in Great Britain. METHODS: Nationally representative household s…
People living with type 1 diabetes have significantly increased cardiovascular risk compared with the general population. Traditional risk factors include hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and obesity. However, those with type 1 diabetes contend with trea…
OBJECTIVE: This study summarizes the evidence on the clinical effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in adults with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). BACKGROUND: IIH is characterized by elevated intracranial pressu…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize key findings from cardiovascular disease prevention trials at the 2026 American College of Cardiology (ACC) Conference. RECENT FINDINGS: The Ez-PAVE trial demonstrated that targeting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol…
Tirzepatide has been approved for the management of obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes mellitus; while gastrointestinal side effects are commonly seen, ischemic colitis has been only rarely described. We present the case of a 32-ye…
BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has emerged as the predominant of heart failure (HF), particularly among aging populations and individuals with a high burden of comorbidities. Its underlying pathophysiological mecha…
OBJECTIVE: Ketoacidosis is a critical adverse event requiring close clinical monitoring. Based on the Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this study aimed to identify the drugs with the clos…
BACKGROUND: As a disease of energy dysregulation, obesity involves metabolic, hormonal, and neural factors, the interconnection of which is referred to as the "gut-brain axis." OBJECTIVE: This review aimed to provide an overview of the clinical evide…
OBJECTIVES: To comprehensively synthesize and quantify the multiorgan effects of tirzepatide across 10 health domains beyond its primary indications for type 2 diabetes and obesity. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL through January 202…
