GLP-1 receptors improve insulin sensitivity and increase [[satiety]]. Retatrutide has shown to increase insulin secretion. Furthermore, agonism of the glucagon receptor increases energy expenditure and promotes fat loss and metabolic activity. With current research, activation of these receptors has overall reduced caloric intake and increased energy expenditure, successfully leading to higher weight loss compared to alternative treatments.
