The GH released can bulk up lean and muscle mass while trimming fat, giving a good body composition
It may also help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, or sun spots [2]
Serious adverse events requiring immediate medical attention include: Pancreatitis: Severe abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back, with or without vomiting Gallbladder disease: Right upper quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting Acute kidney injury: Decreased urine output, swelling, fatigue Thyroid C-cell tumors (boxed warning for tirzepatide): Neck mass, difficulty swallowing, persistent hoarseness Metabolic considerations include the risk of hypoglycemia, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes taking other glucose-lowering medications
While these differences were not significant ( p = 0.094), the trend is potentially informative of what may be happening in the muscle in fatigue related disorders
Results from a post hoc subgroup analysis of the SURMOUNT-1 study (NCT04184622), published this year [87] , demonstrated that among 32 pathogenic MC4R variant carriers (1.4% of the study population) with a median age of 41.06 years and a BMI 40 kg/m 2 , treatment with tirzepatide for 72 weeks resulted in an 18.3% reduction in body weight from baseline
