Tirzepatide is a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for chronic weight management, along with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, for people with an initial body mass index (BMI) of: 30 kg/m2 or greater (obesity) or 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea or cardiovascular disease)
for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis, is available as a once weekly 30-to-90 second subcutaneous injection
We focus on hyperinsulinaemia and its consequences: acutely impaired but persistent insulin action, with reduced ability to lower glucose levels but preserved lipid synthesis and lipoprotein secretion
however, its impact on pregnancy outcomes remains poorly understood
