Among 98 patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, those on the highest dose tested of the drug, retatrutide, experienced an 86% decrease in liver fat over 48 weeks, with most of the reduction occurring early on in treatment, according to data presented here at the American Diabetes Association conference Monday.
