Synapses rely on functional mitochondria to meet their high ATP demands for neurotransmission and plasticity
A prospective proof-of-concept study by Nicolau et al 19 found that liraglutide treatment for three months resulted in a decrease in BMI (from 39.3 to 35.6 kg/m 2 ), waist circumference (from 121.3 to 110.6 cm), mean Hurley stage (from 2.6 to 1.1), DLQI (from 12.3 to 9.7), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (from 22 to 16.7), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain (from 5.6 to 3.2), as well as a decrease in inflammatory markers such as CRP (from 4.5 to 3 mg/dL), homocysteine (from 16.2 to 13.3 mol/L), plasma morning cortisol (from 15.9 to 12.6 g/dL), and insulin (from 18.9 to 15.7 U/mL)
The good news with Retatrutide is that the side effect profile improves significantly with time
We understand that this path can often feel overwhelming, filled with complex information and personal challenges
Since retatrutide is still in clinical development , long-term nutritional data is limited compared to semaglutide and tirzepatide
