Weight Loss & Metabolism
Weight loss peptides can do both, depending on which receptors they target. GLP-1 receptor agonists primarily reduce food intake through appetite suppression and delayed gastric emptying. However, triple agonist peptides like Retatrutide add a glucagon receptor component that directly promotes fat oxidation, particularly in the liver, and increases energy expenditure through thermogenesis. This means Retatrutide works on both sides of the energy balance equation.
