  1. Tirzepatide versus semaglutide for the prevention of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease in type 2 diabetes: A real-world, retrospective cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 79 out of 100. Journal of diabetes and its complications 2026-02-25 Drug development

    A total of 290,606 patients initiated semaglutide and 44,471 initiated tirzepatide.

  2. Unveiling Tirzepatide's Therapeutic Spectrum: A Dual GIP/GLP-1 Agonist Targeting Metabolic, Neurological, and Cardiovascular Health

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. International journal of endocrinology 2025-10-01 Drug development

    Tirzepatide, a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity.

  3. A novel therapeutic prospect: a dual-acting tirzepatide for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. European journal of pharmacology 2025-07-22 Drug development

    Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, involves microglial activation, pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and impaired insulin signaling via insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) inhibition.

  4. Tirzepatide shows neuroprotective effects via regulating brain glucose metabolism in APP/PS1 mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Peptides 2024-07-11 Drug development

    Tirzepatide (LY3298176), a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, is fatty-acid-modified and 39-amino acid linear peptide, which ameliorates learning and memory impairment in diabetic rats.
