Retatrutide: The Triple G Drug The most-watched drug in the GLP-1 pipeline is retatrutide (Eli Lilly), which activates three hormone receptors simultaneously: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon
For example, a recent study indicated that unlike in mouse islets where tirzepatide stimulates insulin secretion predominantly through the GLP-1R, the therapeutic effects of tirzepatide on human beta and alpha cells require engagement of both the GLP-1R and the GIPR, and in addition, tirzepatide increased glucagon secretion in isolated islets [207]
Oral semaglutide as add-on to insulin in T2DM: PIONEER 8
The answer depends on the specific formulation prescribed, as different GLP-1 medications have varying dosing schedules
