Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a synthetic analogue of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GlP) that wasdeveloped for its ability to stimulate insulin release and thus address both type 2 diabetesand non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Made up of 39 amino acids, the relatively largeTirzepatide stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas by binding to both GIP andGLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1)receptors. Taken over longer periods of time, Tirzepatideincreases adiponectin levels by as much as 26% as well[1].
