04 Feb 2022Tirzepatide regulates metabolites, lipids in T2D
Treatment with tirzepatide leads to a reduction in body weight and improvement in glycaemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), reports a study. In addition, it modulates metabolites associated with T2D risk and metabolic dysregulation that is consistent with improved metabolic health.
