<h4>Background/objectives</h4>Tirzepatide (TZP), a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, induces substantial weight loss in patients with obesity; however, pharmacologically induced weight reduction may be accompanied by losses in fat-free mass (FFM), muscle strength (MS), and resting metabolic rate (RMR), potentially influencing metabolic health. This evidence concerns the gene GLP1R and obesity disorder.
