[Meta] proposal — a flair for tirzepatide posts
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom. I have been tracking SURMOUNT against ApoB for 3 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here. Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay,…
This matches the trial data. SURMOUNT-1 was 97.9% body weight at 18 weeks.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
Yeah, dual agonism does produce a different appetite profile than GLP-1 alone.
SURMOUNT data is messier than STEP data but the weight loss is there
nope, the equivalence to semaglutide is not known, comparing 15mg tirz to 2.4mg sema is guessing
