Retatrutide (often abbreviated as “RETA”) is a synthetic peptide being studied as a triple receptor agonist, targeting:
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors
Glucagon receptors
By acting on all three pathways, retatrutide is designed to influence multiple aspects of metabolic regulation.
Research suggests it may:
Enhance insulin secretion and improve glucose control
Reduce appetite and caloric intake
Increase energy expenditure via glucagon receptor activity
Support significant weight loss and fat reduction
Influence lipid metabolism and overall metabolic health
This multi-receptor approach may provide broader metabolic effects compared to dual or single incretin-based peptides.
Retatrutide is intended for research and laboratory use only.
