The older GLP-1 medications activate one or two receptors in the brain and throughout the body, whereas retatrutide works by activating three receptors
Glucagon receptor agonism might seem counterproductive for metabolic research given that glucose-elevating effect, but glucagon has additional effects that make selective agonism of research interest: Energy-expenditure increases through hepatic and adipose effects Lipolysis stimulation in adipose tissue Hepatic fat metabolism effects relevant to fatty-liver research Cardiac effects , including increased contractility The pharmacological insight behind Retatrutide's design is that glucagon receptor agonism combined with strong GLP-1 receptor agonism can leverage glucagon's energy-expenditure and lipolysis effects while GLP-1's glucose-lowering activity offsets glucagon's hyperglycemic effect
