Key Features:
- Mechanism of Action: Tirzepatide mimics the effects of two incretin hormones, GIP and GLP-1, which help regulate insulin secretion, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce appetite, and slow down the rate at which the stomach empties.
- Dual Incretin Activity: By targeting both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, tirzepatide offers a dual mode of action that has shown superior efficacy in controlling blood glucose and supporting weight loss compared to other GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide).
- Clinical Efficacy: In clinical trials, tirzepatide demonstrated significant reductions in HbA1c levels (a marker for blood sugar control) and led to greater weight loss than other diabetes medications. This makes it particularly attractive not just for managing diabetes but also for individuals struggling with obesity.
Current Research:
Tirzepatide is being investigated for its potential role in treating obesity without diabetes and other conditions related to metabolic dysfunction.
