What Is Efinopegdutide?

Efinopegdutide is a long-acting dual GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist developed by Hanmi Pharmaceutical and partnered with MSD (Merck). Its dual mechanism targets both appetite regulation (via GLP-1) and energy expenditure (via glucagon). It has shown particular promise for reducing liver fat, positioning it as a potential treatment for MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis).

How It Works

GLP-1 Agonism

  • • Appetite suppression
  • • Improved insulin sensitivity
  • • Blood sugar regulation
  • • Track metabolic data in Shotlee

Glucagon Agonism

  • • Increases energy expenditure
  • • Promotes liver fat breakdown
  • • Boosts calorie burning
  • • Monitor body comp in Shotlee

Liver Focus

  • • Significant liver fat reduction
  • • MASH treatment potential
  • • Dual metabolic attack
  • • Log all results in Shotlee

Why This Matters

By adding glucagon receptor activation to GLP-1 signaling, efinopegdutide increases energy expenditure while reducing appetite — attacking obesity from both sides. The liver fat reduction makes it especially relevant for MASH patients.

Clinical Data

Vital Protocol FAQs

What is Efinopegdutide?

It is a dual GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist developed by Hanmi/MSD, notable for its liver fat reduction capabilities. Track your protocol in Shotlee.

Is it only for liver disease?

No, it is being studied for both obesity and MASH. The dual mechanism benefits weight loss and liver health simultaneously. Use Shotlee to monitor your progress.
