Abstract
- A significant facet of diabetes is obesity and both conditions present enormous dangers to the global health of populations, thus calling for novel therapeutic approaches. In this review, the author seeks to explore a burgeoning area of research that seeks to treat diabetes and obesity using multi-target drugs, specifically focusing on insulinotropic peptides and the recently developed tirzepatide. The typical therapeutic approach for managing obesity is inadequate because it targets only one or the other of the two clusters. This article as a review clearly depicts the importance of the combined interventions that focus on both disorders To avoiding a long-winded background and justification for diabetes and obesity, let us move directly to the drawbacks related to traditional treatment approaches. Traditional therapies are Intensity modulated radiation therapy IMRT, Imageguided radiation therapy IGRT and stereotactic body radiation therapy SBRT as depicted in Table 1, which can be used to introduce dual targeting therapies. The main idea and purpose of dual targeting are explained, particularly, stressing how this concept may lead to significant changes in treatment approaches. A portion of this review was solely focused on detailing the features of tirzepatide, a drug that stimulates the GLP-1 and GIP receptors. To this end it is analyzed in terms of its evolution, regulation and employment of multifaceted modes of operation. The concept of affinitization is related to tirzepatide and its action on both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors is demonstrated and compared to other medicines in terms of glycemic control or weight loss. This section summarizes findings with regards to the therapeutic outcomes, risk/benefit assessment, and side effects of the treatment regimens; as well as recommended strategies on the handling of complications associated with the use of the therapies. Further, its clinical relevance is explained by making comparison with other alternative treatment modalities. The conclusion of the review features also a prognosis on the probable future of dual targeting therapies in the treatment of diabetes and obesity. In light of two major considerations: glycemic control and weight reduction, these therapies are still valuable for wider application of therapies with comprehensive treatment value. It is also hoped that this article will help direct future research and actual clinical practice concerning the innovative possibility of dual targeting methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
