Short-term impact of tirzepatide on metabolic hypogonadism and body composition in patients with obe
Tirzepatide (TZP), a dual agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, has recently been introduced in Italy for the treatment of obesity. Obesity is frequently associated with metabolic hypogonadism, which is characterized by low testosterone levels and normal low levels of gonadotropin. This condition exacerbates metabolic dysfunction and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aims to evaluate the effects of TZP on metabolic hypogonadism in patients with obesity.
