Overview
Retatrutide (LY3437943) is a novel synthetic peptide investigated for its activity as a triple hormone receptor agonist targeting the Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP), Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), and Glucagon receptors. Research has focused on its effects on body weight regulation, glucose metabolism, energy expenditure, and metabolic health. The compound represents a next-generation multi-receptor incretin approach designed to influence multiple metabolic pathways simultaneously.
Mechanism of Action
Research suggests Retatrutide functions as a triple agonist of the GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors. Activation of GLP-1 receptors may support glucose regulation and satiety signaling, GIP receptor activation may influence insulin sensitivity and metabolic function, while glucagon receptor activation may increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation. Studies have investigated its effects on body composition, weight regulation, and metabolic biomarkers.
