How It Works

  1. 1. Concentration

    Divide vial amount (mcg) by water volume (mL) to get concentration (mcg/mL).

  2. 2. Volume needed

    Divide desired dose by concentration to get injection volume in mL.

  3. 3. Syringe units

    Multiply mL × 100 to get U-100 syringe units (IU).

Example

  • 5 mg vial + 2 mL water = 2.5 mg/mL
  • Want 250 mcg (0.25 mg)?
  • 0.25 ÷ 2.5 = 0.1 mL
  • 0.1 mL = 10 units on a U-100 syringe

What is Reta-R3?

Reta-R3 (LY-3437943) is a synthetic peptide developed in the context of metabolic research. Its distinctive feature, studied in the literature, is acting as an agonist of three metabolic receptors at once — GLP-1, GIP and glucagon — whereas most related peptides target only one or two. It is used in the laboratory as a reagent for studying metabolic pathways in vitro and in preclinical models. Lyophilised product supplied with an independent certificate of analysis, intended exclusively for scientific research — not for human consumption.

Mechanism studied in research

Publications describe a triple-agonist profile. The items below summarise the mechanism as observed in in vitro research models — for informational purposes only, with no intent of human use.

1

GLP-1 receptor

The most studied pathway of metabolic peptides, involved in the regulation of insulin signalling in laboratory models.

2

GIP receptor

Acts in synergy with the GLP-1 pathway in metabolic research models.

3

Glucagon receptor

Reta-R3's specificity: the addition of this pathway is the subject of in vitro studies on cellular energy metabolism.
