Metabolic Data
Phase 2 trial data published in the NEJM (2023) documented mean body weight changes as a primary metabolic endpoint, alongside measurements of HbA1c, hepatic fat content by MRI, and lipid parameters. These findings are relevant to researchers studying incretin receptor pharmacology and multi-receptor agonism mechanisms in metabolic models
First triple incretin receptor agonist showing superior weight loss in Phase 2
Retatrutide’s unique triple mechanism (GIP + GLP-1 + glucagon receptors) produced mean body weight reductions of up to 24.2% at 48 weeks—the highest reported for any anti-obesity compound in clinical trials.
Comprehensive improvements across metabolic parameters
Beyond weight loss, subjects showed improvements in HbA1c, fasting glucose, lipid profiles, liver fat content (up to 86% reduction), and waist circumference
Up to 86% reduction in liver fat content at highest dose
MRI-based assessments demonstrated dramatic hepatic fat reduction, with 93% of participants in the highest dose group achieving resolution of hepatic steatosis.
Clear dose-dependent efficacy observed across all endpoints
Phase 2 data showed progressive improvements with increasing doses (1mg to 12mg), supporting the biological plausibility and receptor pharmacology of the triple agonist mechanism.
GI Effects
Hepatic Profile
HR Increase
Most common adverse events were GI-related (nausea, diarrhea, vomiting), consistent with incretin-class agents. Dose titration helped mitigate severity.
Gradual dose escalation over 12-20 weeks significantly reduced the incidence and severity of GI adverse events in clinical trials.
Heart rate increases of 2-4 bpm observed at higher doses, consistent with GLP-1 agonist class effects. No increased cardiovascular event risk detected.
Despite dramatic liver fat reduction, liver enzyme levels normalized rather than elevated, suggesting hepatoprotective rather than hepatotoxic effects.
Phase 3 trials are underway to further characterize the long-term safety profile. Current data supports an acceptable risk-benefit ratio.

Retatrutide (LY3437943) is a novel first-in-class triple hormone receptor agonist that activates GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors. It represents the next evolution beyond dual agonists like tirzepatide.
While tirzepatide targets GIP and GLP-1 receptors, retatrutide adds glucagon receptor agonism. The glucagon component is believed to contribute additional energy expenditure and hepatic fat reduction benefits.
Phase 2 data published in NEJM (2023) demonstrated up to 24.2% body weight reduction at 48 weeks. Phase 3 trials (TRIUMPH program) are currently ongoing.
Store lyophilized powder at -20°C. Reconstituted solution should be stored at 2-8°C and used within 14 days. Protect from light.
Retatrutide (LY3437943) is currently under Phase 3 clinical evaluation and holds no approval from the MHRA, FDA, or EMA for any clinical indication. This product is supplied solely for in-vitro and preclinical research purposes and must not be used in humans or animals.
