INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological disorder characterised by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), predominantly affecting obese women of reproductive age. While GLP-1 receptor agonists have shown promise in II…
Euglycemic ketoacidosis (EKA) is a life-threatening condition characterized by ketone production leading to systemic acidosis, dehydration, and end-organ damage. It presents similarly to diabetic ketoacidosis, except that patients have normal to slig…
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this work was to assess the association of tirzepatide with changes in insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: This was a prespecified analysis of SURPASS J-m…
INTRODUCTION: Insufficient weight loss (IWL) or weight regain (WR) after metabolic bariatric surgery remains a challenge in obesity management. Therefore, this study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the impact of adjunctive tirzepatide therapy over…
The SUMMIT trialshowed that the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide improves quality of life and reduces worsening heart failure (HF) events in patients with HF with preserved ejection fracti…
In the last few years, the longevity of Americans has fallen for the first time in our history. Obesity has mushroomed, heart disease still kills approximately 600,000 Americans, and stroke 150,000. This review will cover the 8 most important nongene…
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D), as well as obesity, are risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease. The renal impacts of glucose-lowering and weight-lowering drugs and their potential benefits in preventing CKD often…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related progressive disorder that leads to dopaminergic loss and subsequent motor dysfunction. Current therapies mainly deal with symptomatic effects, and hence, therapies targeting progressive neurodegeneration nee…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tirzepatide is a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, which was approved in 2023 by the US Food and Drug Administration for weight management in adults with obesity or o…
AIMS: We assessed changes in body composition following tirzepatide treatment in a substudy of participants with obesity or overweight from the SURMOUNT-1 trial, overall and post hoc in clinically relevant subgroups. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Substudy p…
AIMS: To understand real-world tirzepatide utilization and effectiveness (change in weight and body mass index [BMI]) among people without type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the United States. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective, observational study used…
AIMS: Tirzepatide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist, demonstrates promise as a potent medication for obesity. However, the extent to which its weight-reducing effects go be…
Tirzepatide could control postprandial hyperglycemia even in cases with diminished β-cell function. This finding gives new insight into the treatment of older patients with diabetes. However, tilzepatide does not replace basal insulin in cases with d…
INTRODUCTION: Tirzepatide, a once-weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist approved in the US for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, has demonstrated significant improvements in glycated he…
INTRODUCTION: Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience alterations in metabolism that result in increased central obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia placing them at elevated risk for developing cardiometabolic disease (CMD). In…
Obesity has become a significant global challenge, highlighting the need for effective weight loss strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have emerged as a promising solution, with tirzepatide gaining significant popularity…
BACKGROUND: Data on tirzepatide in Asian patients with obesity are limited. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of tirzepatide for treatment of Japanese patients with obesity disease (BMI ≥25 kg/mwith excessive fat accumulation) as define…
