Despite these side effects, the overall safety profile of Retatrutide remains favorable, with no reports of severe liver-related harm or other serious complications
GLP-1 also signals to the brain to reduce appetite and slow down the rate of food digestion, which can lead to weight loss
If GI symptoms are still significant at the end of a four-week block, the documented approach is to hold the current dose longer rather than escalate on schedule
Low dose GLP-1 therapy attenuates pathological cardiac and hepatic remodelling in HFpEF independent of weight loss
The most consequential pending readout is TRANSCEND-T2D-2, the head-to-head trial pitting retatrutide against semaglutide in type 2 diabetes over 80 weeks
These agonists/analogues of GLP-1 slow down gastric emptying, modulate calorie intake by increasing the sense of satiety, modulate cardiovascular activity, and regulate natriuresis at the renal level [6]
