Retatrutide, a GLP-1/GIP/GCGR receptor agonist Research Topics:
-
Glycemic Control:
Retatrutide effectively lowers blood glucose levels by enhancing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon secretion, beneficial for managing type 2 diabetes (PMID: 38356208).
-
Weight Loss:
It promotes substantial weight loss, with phase 2 trials showing a placebo-subtracted weight loss ranging from 6.6% to 22.1%, and up to 48% of participants losing more than 25% of their baseline weight (PMID: 37366315).
-
Cardiovascular Benefits:
Retatrutide helps reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, providing cardiovascular protection (PMID: 37902090).
-
Improved Metabolic Health:
It enhances overall metabolic health by improving insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism (PMID: 38356208).
