These include different GLP-1/GIP combinations with varying receptor affinity profiles, triple agonists that add glucagon activity, and oral formulations of dual agonists

When glucagon receptors activate, the liver increases its metabolic activity
Retatrutide (LY3437943) simultaneously activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, distinguishing it from approved dual or single agonists such as tirzepatide and semaglutide
GLP-1 receptor agonists bind to receptors in the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, and brain shortly after administration, triggering insulin secretion, appetite suppression, and delayed gastric emptying
GLP-1s are still safe without a gallbladder
