Description
Retatrutide is an investigational synthetic peptide designed to activate three metabolic hormone receptors; GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. This triple-receptor profile provides a unique framework for research into energy balance, lipid utilization, and thermogenic metabolism. Retatrutide is of interest in studies exploring multifactorial metabolic pathways and energy expenditure modulation.
