However, its not just about combinations of different drugs and molecules
However, utilizing in vitro functional studies revealed additional defects in the mechanism of insulin secretion independently of its production when manipulating the Gpr180 gene expression in MIN6 cell line
Similarly, a post-hoc analysis of SURPASS-1, enrolling 478 patients with T2D, found that all doses of tirzepatide as monotherapy increased insulin sensitivity compared to placebo, as suggested by the decreases in HOMA2-IR by 923% (vs +14.7% with placebo) and fasting insulin levels by 212% (vs +15%) and the increase in adiponectin by 1623% (vs 0.2%) and IGFBP-2 by 3870% (vs +4.1%) at 40 weeks [76]
