Description:
Retatrutide is a next-generation triple hormone receptor agonist that simultaneously activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. This multi-pathway engagement enables a synergistic effect on appetite suppression, energy expenditure, and glycemic control. The 20mg pre-filled pen format offers precise, ready-to-administer dosing, ideal for advanced metabolic research protocols requiring consistent delivery and elevated exposure.

⚙️ Mechanism of Action:
Retatrutide mimics and amplifies the body’s natural incretin and glucagon signaling cascade:
• GLP-1R Activation: Enhances insulin secretion, delays gastric emptying, and reduces appetite
• GIPR Activation: Improves insulin sensitivity and β-cell function
• GCGR Activation: Increases energy expenditure, promotes lipolysis, and reduces hepatic steatosis
This triple-receptor synergy results in robust weight loss, improved glucose metabolism, and visceral fat reduction, making it a powerful scaffold for obesity and metabolic syndrome research.

📈 Research Applications:
Retatrutide is under investigation in preclinical and clinical models for:
• Obesity and body weight regulation
• Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
• Cardiometabolic risk reduction
• Combination therapy with amylin analogs (e.g., Cagrilintide)
In Phase 2 trials, subjects receiving high-dose Retatrutide experienced up to 24.2% body weight reduction over 48 weeks, with favorable shifts in lipid and glycemic markers.
