Tirzepatide NEW

Description: Tirzepatide, also known as LY 3298176, is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Tirzepatide has a greater affinity to GIP receptors than to GLP-1 receptors, and this dual agonist behavior has been shown to produce greater reductions of hyperglycemia compared to a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist. Signaling studies reported that tirzepatide mimics the actions of natural GIP at the GIP receptor. Tirzepatide was approved for improving blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, as an addition to diet and exercise.

More Info: Tirzepatide is a newly developed glucose-lowering agent which acts on the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. It has been shown to result in several highly beneficial outcomes including weight loss and a significant improvement in important metabolic parameters such as HbA1c, fasting serum glucose, and triglyceride/lipoprotein levels. These findings suggest that tirzepatide could potentially be beneficial to metabolically healthy obese or metabolically healthy overweight patients in reducing their risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and conversion to the metabolically unhealthy phenotype.
