Retatrutide-specific long-term data is still being collected, but the biological mechanisms are identical
Other GLP1 receptor agonists, such as Trulicity (dulaglutide), Wegovy (also semaglutide but at a higher dose for weight loss), and Victoza (liraglutide), offer similar mechanisms but vary in dosing frequency, cost, and clinical indications
5, 6, 8, 13, 14 This indicates that liraglutide treatment uncouples the increase in soluble leptin receptors that normally occurs during weight loss, thereby preventing the decrease in free leptin and thus preventing the increase in food-seeking behavior during weight loss maintenance
GIP has some overlapping effects with GLP-1, including stimulating insulin release and slowing gastric emptying
