According to him, the most credible differentiation strategies include: Novel receptor pharmacology: Ecnoglutide's biased agonism produces markedly lower rates of GI side effects and discontinuation
in the context of a balanced triple agonist, its classical effect on hepatic glucose production is offset by the simultaneous GLP-1R/GIPR insulinotropic action, while the metabolic effects that peptide designers actually want from GCGR are retained: increased energy expenditure via brown-adipose thermogenesis and skeletal-muscle oxidation, adipose lipolysis with free-fatty-acid release for beta-oxidation, and hepatic fatty-acid oxidation that clears triglyceride from the liver 27
