Notable findings include: In the SURMOUNT-1 trial of tirzepatide for the treatment of obesity, secondary findings showed improvements in the GLP-1 treatment group in systolic blood pressure (-7.2mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure (-4.8mm Hg), triglycerides (-24.8mg/dl), fasting insulin (-42.9mIU liter), and total cholesterol (-4.8mg/dl)
