Short-term tirzepatide treatment and its link to average platelet size in people with obesity

Updated

Abstract

Short-term tirzepatide therapy may be associated with changes in mean platelet volume in patients with obesity.

  • Obesity is linked to chronic low-grade inflammation and cardiovascular risk.
  • Mean platelet volume (MPV) serves as a surrogate marker for platelet activation and inflammation.
  • The relationship between tirzepatide therapy and MPV changes has been evaluated in this context.
  • An untreated control group was included for comparison.
