Highlights

  • Retatrutide, a triple agonist targeting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors, induces superior reductions in total body fat and liver fat compared with placebo and active controls in type 2 diabetes and metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
  • Lean mass loss is proportionate to weight loss, aligning with other anti-obesity therapies, alleviating concerns regarding excessive lean mass reduction.
  • Retatrutide demonstrates robust improvements in metabolic parameters, including insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism, with an acceptable safety profile.
