Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown substantial weight-loss efficacy in clinical trials, though typically at higher doses and longer treatment durations. Evidence on the short-term real-world effectiveness of low-dose tirzepatid…
AIM: Insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell failure are key characteristics of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Impaired β-cell function is associated with loss of β-cell identity, resulting in β-cell dedifferentiation or trans-differentiation to other endoc…
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…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs)-along with the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1RA tirzepatide-are widely acknowledged for their efficacy in managing both type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, with exp…
OBJECTIVE: Identifying social and economic factors associated with initiation of semaglutide or tirzepatide may inform strategies to support equitable uptake. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using 100% of Medicare c…
AIMS: Ramadan fasting poses challenges for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to increased risks of hypoglycemia and metabolic fluctuations. Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown marked efficacy in glycemic control…
Obesity is a global health crisis, projected to affect over one billion adults by 2030. Lifestyle modification strategies-diet, physical activity, and behavioral therapy-have achieved only modest and often unsustainable outcomes. Pharmacotherapy has…
AIMS: Pharmacotherapy for metabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is reserved for steatohepatitis (MASH) with moderate Fibrosis Grades 2-3. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) of clinically available medications with biopsy data were eval…
PURPOSE: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), has shown superior efficacy in glycemic control, weight loss, and cardiometabolic outcomes compared to GLP-1 RAs alone.…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are used for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight or obesity, but their association with cancer is unclear. PURPOSE: To investigate the risk for obesity-related cancer associa…
A 63-year-old woman with obesity presented with severe postprandial hypoglycemia that worsened after starting tirzepatide for weight loss. Further evaluation led to the diagnosis of insulinoma. This case suggests that the use of tirzepatide can provo…
BACKGROUND: Adequately treating obesity remains a fundamental goal for improving quality of life and long-term health outcomes. Semaglutide and tirzepatide have shown clinically meaningful weight loss in clinical trials, yet despite this weight loss…
BACKGROUND: Tirzepatide, a single-molecule dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor (R) agonist, has shown superiority in the reduction of blood glucose and body weight, above selective GLP-1R a…
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in China has continued to increase over the last decade, with mounting health and economic consequences. In this Personal View, we critically examine recent advances and identify current and emerging challenge…
This study aimed to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and psychiatric safety of tirzepatide among adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, focusing on the risks of mortality, hospitalization, and suicidal behavior. Based on the electronic he…
BACKGROUND: Menstrual health is a critical marker of physiological and psychological well-being in adolescents. While undernutrition and energy deficiency are well-known causes of menstrual disruption through hypothalamic hypogonadal suppression, the…
Incretin therapy, utilizing glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dual receptor agonists, is a cornerstone of obesity management due to effects on appetite suppression, weight loss, and metabolic improvement. Liraglutide, semaglutide,…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Simultaneous control of HbA, lipid profile, BP and body weight is essential for preventing chronic complications of type 2 diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based therapies improve all these variables but whether the dual GLP…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used for weight management and cardiometabolic health. Common peroneal neuropathy (CPN) associated with rapid weight loss is attributed to adipose tissue reduction and subsequent n…
This study investigated the therapeutic potential of tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, in a mouse model combining obesity, type 2 diabetes, and estrogen deficiency. Four groups were initially established and maintained for 12 weeks unde…
