The first phase (active weight loss) runs at higher doses and higher costs for 3-6 months
The glucagon receptor agonism is thought to play an important role in hepatic fat reduction: preclinical and early clinical data suggest that glucagon stimulates hepatic fatty acid oxidation and promotes lipid export from the liver, potentially reducing intrahepatic triglyceride content
Method 1: The detailed steps for synthesizing Retarutide using solid-state synthesis in the laboratory are as follows: Prepare the required reagents and instruments: including amino acids, dichloromethane, potassium carbonate, ethoxylated silica gel, acetonitrile, pyridine, N-methylmorpholine, diisopropylethyl chloride source, trifluoroacetic acid, DIPEA, Boc protected amino acids and other reagents, as well as magnetic stirrers, rotary evaporators and other instruments
