The intended pharmacology combines three signals in one molecule. GLP-1 receptor activation reduces appetite and slows gastric emptying, effects already exploited by approved incretin-based therapies. GIP receptor engagement is associated with improved insulin sensitivity and with direct effects on adipose tissue, although how much it contributes to overall outcomes is still debated. Glucagon receptor agonism raises energy expenditure and supports hepatic lipid handling, a mechanism that also tends to increase glucose output. The triple profile is hypothesized to produce a larger metabolic effect than single or dual agonism, but the relative weight of each receptor in humans is not settled.
Human evidence remains limited to controlled studies. A phase 2 trial in adults with obesity reported large, dose-dependent reductions in body weight over 48 weeks, with gastrointestinal events as the most frequently recorded adverse effect. Phase 3 programs designated TRIUMPH, for obesity, and TRANSCEND, for type 2 diabetes, are intended to confirm efficacy and to characterize safety in larger populations. Related studies are examining conditions such as knee osteoarthritis in people with obesity and metabolic liver disease. Open questions include long-term tolerability, effects on lean mass, and what happens after treatment is stopped.
临床研究通常测量体重、腰围、空腹血糖、糖化血红蛋白和血脂，并记录不良事件。药代动力学评估关注浓度-时间曲线，药效动力学评估关注代谢标志物变化。体重下降由能量摄入减少、能量消耗变化和脂肪组织重塑共同造成，具体权重仍不明确。研究之间的终点定义和随访时长差异使横向比较复杂。
瑞他鲁肽同时激活GLP-1受体、GIP受体和胰高血糖素受体，这三者均属于B类G蛋白偶联受体。受体激活后主要经cAMP信号通路传递效应。GLP-1成分与食欲抑制和胃排空延缓相关，GIP成分影响脂肪组织与胰岛素分泌，胰高血糖素成分则促进肝糖输出和能量消耗。各受体贡献的相对比例在人体中尚未完全量化。

Following Geoffrey Howe's resignation speech in November 1990, Heseltine challenged Thatcher for the party leadership, polling well enough to deny her an outright victory on the first ballot. Following Thatcher's subsequent resignation, Heseltine lost to Major on the second ballot, but returned to the Cabinet in his former post of Environment Secretary when Major became prime minister. As a key ally of Major, Heseltine was appointed President of the Board of Trade and Secretary of State for Trade and Industry following the 1992 general election. He supported Major when his leadership was challenged in 1995, and was promoted to Deputy Prime Minister and First Secretary of State. He declined to seek the leadership of the party following Major's 1997 election defeat, and served in Major's shadow cabinet as Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Shadow Secretary of State for Trade and Industry while the leadership election to succeed him was taking place. Heseltine was created a life peer in 2001 and has remained a vocal advocate of modernisation within the party. He has continued to make political interventions, criticising Brexit and Boris Johnson following the 2016 Brexit referendum result. In 2019, Heseltine had the whip suspended after saying he would vote for the Liberal Democrats, rather than the Conservatives, at the 2019 European Parliament election. Heseltine had the whip restored in July 2024.
Citrus greening disease (Chinese: 黃龍病; pinyin: huánglóngbìng abbr. HLB) is a disease of citrus trees caused by bacteria of the genus Liberibacter. These microbes are transmitted by two species of bug: the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri and the African citrus psyllid Trioza erytreae. It has no known cure. It is graft-transmissible. There are three different types of the disease: a heat-tolerant Asian form, and the heat-sensitive African and American forms. It was first described and reported in southern China in 1919. The African variation was first reported in 1937 in South Africa, where it is still widespread. It reached Florida in 2005, and within three years had spread to the majority of citrus farms. The rapid increase in this disease has threatened the citrus industry in the entire US. As of 2009, 33 countries had reported the infection in their citrus crop.
In April 2022, Kardashian and her family returned to the television screens with their brand new reality television show, titled The Kardashians, after they left the E! Network to join Hulu. The show features Kardashian, alongside her sisters Kourtney, Kim, Kendall and Kylie, and mother Kris Jenner, it also features ex and current partners including Scott Disick, Travis Barker, Kardashian's ex Tristan Thompson, and Corey Gamble, with Kanye West making a guest appearance. The first season premiered on April 14, 2022, and its ten episodes can be streamed exclusively on Disney+. Later in 2022, the show was announced to be returning for a second season, which officially premiered on September 22, 2022. In late 2022, it was announced that the show had been officially renewed for a third season, set to premier in the first half of 2023. The third season officially aired on May 25, 2023. This was followed by a fourth season in September 2023, a fifth season in May 2024, and a sixth season in February 2025. In 2024, Kardashian announced the forthcoming release of her first ever video podcast series on X. She officially launched the podcast in January 2025, titled Khloe in Wonderland and it became available on all major audio streaming services. The show is produced weekly. In April 2025, Kardashian released her own popcorn brand called Khloud by Khloe Kardashian.
The first ENSO pattern to be recognised, called Eastern Pacific (EP) ENSO, to distinguish it from others, involves temperature anomalies in the eastern Pacific. In the 1990s and 2000s, variations of ENSO conditions were observed, in which the usual place of the temperature anomaly (Niño 1 and 2) is not affected, but an anomaly also arises in the central Pacific (Niño 3.4). The phenomenon is called Central Pacific (CP) ENSO, "dateline" ENSO (because the anomaly arises near the dateline), or ENSO "Modoki" (Modoki is Japanese for "similar, but different"). There are variations of ENSO additional to the EP and CP types, and some scientists argue that ENSO exists as a continuum, often with hybrid types. The effects of the CP ENSO are different from those of the EP ENSO. The El Niño Modoki is associated with more hurricanes more frequently making landfall in the Atlantic. La Niña Modoki leads to a rainfall increase over northwestern Australia and northern Murray–Darling basin, rather than over the eastern portion of the country as in a conventional EP La Niña. Also, La Niña Modoki increases the frequency of cyclonic storms over Bay of Bengal, but decreases the occurrence of severe storms in the Indian Ocean overall. The first recorded El Niño that originated in the central Pacific and moved toward the east was in 1986. Recent Central Pacific El Niños happened in 1986–87, 1991–92, 1994–95, 2002–03, 2004–05 and 2009–10. There were "Modoki" events in 1957–59, 1963–64, 1965–66, 1968–70, 1977–78 and 1979–80.

A few examples of biologics made with recombinant DNA technology include: Many vaccines are grown in tissue cultures. Viral gene therapy involves artificially manipulating a virus to include a desirable piece of genetic material. Viral gene therapies using engineered plant viruses have been proposed to enhance crop performance and promote sustainable production.

=== Principles === During its life, a plant or animal is in equilibrium with its surroundings by exchanging carbon either with the atmosphere or through its diet. It will, therefore, have the same proportion of 14C as the atmosphere, or in the case of marine animals or plants, with the ocean. Once it dies, it ceases to acquire 14C, but the 14C within its biological material at that time will continue to decay, and so the ratio of 14C to 12C in its remains will gradually decrease. Because 14C decays at a known rate, the proportion of radiocarbon can be used to determine how long it has been since a given sample stopped exchanging carbon – the older the sample, the less 14C will be left. The equation governing the decay of a radioactive isotope is:
== In the heart == In the heart, A1 receptors play roles in electrical pacing (chronotropy and dromotropy), fluid balance, local sympathetic regulation, and metabolism. When bound by adenosine, A1 receptors inhibit impulses generated in supraventricular tissue (SA node, AV node) and the Bundle of His/Purkinje system, leading to negative chronotropy (slowing of the heart rate). Specifically, A1 receptor activation leads to inactivation of the inwardly rectifying K+ current and inhibition of the inward Ca2+ current (ICa) and the 'funny' hyperpolarization-activated current (If). Adenosine agonism of A1ARs also inhibits release of norepinephrine from cardiac nerves. Norepinephrine is a positive chronotrope, inotrope, and dromotrope, through its agonism of β adrenergic receptors on pacemaker cells and ventricular myocytes. Collectively, these mechanisms lead to an myocardial depressant effect by decreasing the conduction of electrical impulses and suppressing pacemaker cells function, resulting in a decrease in heart rate. This makes adenosine a useful medication for treating and diagnosing tachyarrhythmias, or excessively fast heart rates. This effect on the A1 receptor also explains why there is a brief moment of cardiac standstill when adenosine is administered as a rapid IV push during cardiac resuscitation. The rapid infusion causes a momentary myocardial stunning effect. In normal physiological states, this serves as protective mechanisms.
These ad campaigns, coupled with other new promotions and a series of new product introductions, drew positive and negative attention to BK and helped TPG and its partners realize about US$367 million in dividends. With the late-2000s recession hitting the 18–35 demographic targeted by the CP+B created ads particularly hard, the company saw its market share decline and the company move into the red. After the completion of the sale of the company in late 2010, the new ownership group terminated Burger King's seven-year relationship with CP+B and hired rival firm McGarryBowen to create a new campaign with an expanded market reach. As part of the new campaign, McGarryBowen terminated the use of the Burger King in the company's advertising program in favor of a new program that focused on the food and ingredients in its new advertising campaigns. In recent years, Burger King has turned to trolling fast food rival McDonald's with their advertising strategy. The company's tactics have included LOLA MullenLowe's "Scary Clown Night" which offered a free Whopper to anyone dressed as a clown (McDonald's mascot) on Halloween; FCB New York's Whopper Detour initiative, which encouraged mobile app users to go to a nearby McDonald's in order to unlock a 1-center Whopper; and Ingo's "The Not Big Macs" menu, which poked fun at McDonald's recent loss of the Big Mac trademark in the EU. In February 2019, the company launched an advertising campaign called "Eat Like Andy".
=== Mental tools === FM can cause negative mental effects. German guidance encourages FM patients to focus on coping with symptoms (instead of fighting the syndrome), on aspects of life which are important to them, on ceasing perfectionism, and on establishing and respecting their limits. In a 2020 Cochrane review, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was found to have a small but beneficial effect for reducing pain and distress, but adverse events were not well evaluated. CBT and related psychological and behavioral therapies have a small to moderate effect in reducing symptoms of fibromyalgia. Effect sizes tend to be small when psychological therapies are used as treatment for patients with fibromyalgia, and are comparable to the effect sizes seen with other drug and pain treatments. Multicomponent treatment appears to have greater efficacy than any individual treatment. Several reviews have found that CBT has no significant effect in pain reduction, although it does improve sleep quality. There is also limited evidence that acceptance and commitment therapy improves outcomes such as health-related quality of life and pain acceptance. Patient education is recommended by the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) as an important treatment component. As of 2022, there is only low-quality evidence showing that patient education can decrease pain and fibromyalgia impact. Sleep hygiene interventions show low effectiveness in improving insomnia in people with chronic pain.

It is an investigational peptide that activates three hormone receptors: GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon. It is being studied mainly for obesity and type 2 diabetes, and it is not approved for any clinical use. Published information comes from controlled trials rather than from general practice.
No. As of the most recent public information it remains investigational in every jurisdiction. Material sold under this name outside trials is a research chemical, not an approved medicine. Current status should always be checked against regulator notices.
Dual agonists act on two receptors, usually GIP and GLP-1. Retatrutide adds glucagon receptor activity, which is associated with increased energy expenditure. Whether that third component adds clinically meaningful benefit over dual agonism remains an open question.
