Notes: Retatrutide is a triple agonist of the glucagon receptor (GCGR), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R), and gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIP receptor), also known as the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor.{67718} It induces cAMP accumulation in HEK293 cells expressing the human GCGR, GLP-1R, or GIP receptor (EC50s = 5.79, 0.775, and 0.0643 nM, respectively). Retatrutide (0.1-30 nmol/kg) decreases plasma glucose levels in an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test in mice. It decreases body weight, calorie intake, fat mass, and lean mass in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity in a dose-dependent manner. Acute administration of retatrutide (10 nmol/kg) delays gastric emptying and chronic administration for 10 days decreases food intake and body weight in mice.{67719}
