Description
Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist.
It is studied for its effects on weight loss, glucose control, and cardiometabolic outcomes, and represents a new generation of incretin-based therapies.

Benefits
- Weight loss β studied for significant body weight reductions in clinical trials.
- Glucose control β linked to improved HbA1c and insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.
- Cardiometabolic health β explored for lipid balance and reduced cardiovascular risk markers.
- Energy balance β dual GIP/GLP-1 action offers metabolic synergy.
- Next-gen incretin therapy β combines multiple pathways for broader efficacy.
What Researchers Look At
- Dual incretin agonism: GIP + GLP-1 receptor activation.
- SURPASS clinical trial program results in type 2 diabetes and obesity.
- Comparisons to GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide) for weight and glycemic control.
- Exploration of long-term cardiovascular outcomes and liver health.
