The development of novel dual- or triple-receptor agonists that bind to the receptors not only for GLP-1 but also to the receptors for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and/or glucagon is intended to address different metabolic pathways for carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism simultaneously
