(Shafi et al., 2015) surveyed the indoxyl sulfate (IS) levels of coronary artery patients and their estimated glomerular filtration rate was 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2

The compound is frequently referred to as a triple-hormone-receptor agonist retatrutide because it simultaneously targets: GLP-1 receptor pathways Glucagon receptor pathways Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor pathways This triple agonist mechanism differentiates retatrutide from earlier GLP-1 receptor agonist compounds and other research peptides currently studied for obesity and metabolic dysfunction

Key challenges include stability, solubility, permeability, absorption, and protecting the active ingredient through the gastrointestinal tract

A 2024 narrative review from researchers in China also highlighted GLP-1s potential to treat various pain types including nerve pain, arthritis, migraines and cancer-related pain
