The combination does not create significant pharmacokinetic interactions, as metformin is not metabolized hepatically and tirzepatide undergoes proteolytic degradation
Regulating Satiety Pathways: In the hypothalamus, GLP-1 RAs stimulate neurons that promote satiety (POMC/CART neurons) and inhibit neurons that drive hunger (NPY/AgRP neurons), reducing food intake and enhancing fullness (Zheng et al., 2024)
Furthermore, GLP-1 receptor agonists induce anti-inflammatory effects that could attenuate the low-grade inflammation that underlies obesity, PsO, and HS (reviewed recently in the context of PsO and psoriatic arthritis).68 Finally, improved metabolic control and cardio-renal protection could be beneficial for reducing CVR and managing comorbidities such as DT2 or metabolic syndrome
