Moreover, GLP-1 changes in healthy participants and individuals with obesity were negatively correlated with anticipatory responses to food reward in the OFC after glucose intake (Heni et al., 2015)
It belongs to a novel class of drugs known as triple agonists , meaning it simultaneously activates three hormone receptors: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) which reduces appetite and slows gastric emptying [9] [10] GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) which may enhance insulin secretion and has been suggested in early studies to support fat metabolism Glucagon receptor which may increase energy expenditure and has been proposed to support fat breakdown in the liver, based on early pharmacological data [11] [12] This triple mechanism distinguishes retatrutide from existing approved medicines such as semaglutide (a GLP-1 agonist) or tirzepatide (a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist)
A bigger issue likely relates to whether these medications are even appropriate for use in endurance athletes training for long-distance events like triathlon, where sufficient caloric intake is critical to training and racing success
