GIP receptors are present on adipocytes and GIP promotes lipid uptake and storage in fed conditions, which is part of why GIP was once viewed as obesogenic. The paradox that both agonism and antagonism of the receptor reduce weight in rodents is partly a question about these adipose effects.
How GIP receptor agonism in a combined molecule interacts with adipose biology in people is not resolved in the published work.
Reports of GLP-1 receptor expression on adipocytes exist but are inconsistent, and the receptor's best-characterised effects on fat mass are indirect, through intake. Glucagon receptors are reported in adipose at low levels in some species, with lipolytic effects that are clearer in rodents than in humans.
This is an area where species differences matter and where the human literature is thinner than the animal literature.
The phase 2 trials measured body weight and, in the substudy, liver fat. They did not measure adipose-tissue signalling. Statements about retatrutide acting directly on fat cells go beyond the human data and rest on receptor-expression studies and animal work.
The honest summary is that fat loss in the trials is well documented and the route to it is mostly indirect.
