What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide
Mechanism of Action
Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist. This unique dual mechanism allows it to activate both incretin pathways simultaneously. Research shows it enhances insulin secretion through both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, with effects on glucose metabolism, appetite regulation, and energy expenditure.
