Abstract:The prevalence of obesity is a major global public health threat. The increasing prevalence and concurrent diseases have imposed an enormous burden on the healthcare system. Relatively few drugs are currently approved for weight loss. Tirzepatide, known as a dual receptor agonist of both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), is a new drugs treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Compared with traditional GLP-1 receptor agonists. Tirzepatide has more significant effective for weight and glucose loss. In this review, we summarize the possible mechanism of Tirzepatide for weight loss, clinical research data, etc., and then discuss its feasibility and safety for obesity treatment, which could provide a new option for the treatment of obesity.
