    Summary
    All 3 eligible maintenance doses of tirzepatide (5, 10, and 15 mg once a week) were effective in increasing total cholesterol (TC) (P < 0.05), HDL-C (P < 0.05), VLDL-C (P < 0.01), triglyceride (TG) (P < 0.01), and WC (P < 0.01) changes from baseline compared with control agents including placebo, se…
