someone explain retatrutide to me like I have not read a paper in years
someone explain retatrutide to me like I have not read a paper in years. I would rather ask a basic question now than get this wrong quietly for two months. Glucagon receptor agonism is associated with increased energy expenditure and with hepatic effects. That is a mechanistic story with strong preclinical support…
Standing reminder in every thread here: unapproved compound, research material is not for human use, nothing on this board is medical advice.
It is a triple agonist at the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors. The glucagon arm is the genuinely novel component and it is the one with the least human outcome data behind it.
not approved anywhere, which is the single most important fact in this board
phase 2 data only, and people quote it like it is a label
Careful with the rankings. A phase 2 result and a phase 3 result are not on the same evidential footing and cannot be listed in one table.
the phase 2 numbers were striking and they were also 48 weeks in a small population
Kept a log specifically because there is so little published. It is one person and it is not data.
What is the source for that figure — the published paper or a summary of it?
