Primary sources
Every retatrutide citation, annotated
PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and peer-reviewed journals. Every claim on this site traces to one of these sources.
How this reference list works
Every quantitative claim across this site is tagged with an inline citation number [N] that maps to an entry in this list. Citations are drawn from our compiled research corpus for retatrutide (LY3437943, revision 2). Where DOI and PubMed links are available, both are included. ClinicalTrials.gov entries are included for all ongoing Phase 3 trials. No citation in this list was invented; the corpus citation-audit process verified each source's existence and accessibility.
