Peptides have earned a place among the most sought-after molecules in overweight and obesity research in recent years. They can influence metabolic pathways that determine how quickly we burn calories, when we feel full, and whether fat is stored or broken down. Their effects allow for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of weight regulation and open the door to innovative therapeutic approaches.

AOD-9604, lipolytic peptide fragment, which was derived from human growth hormone (HGH) during the late 1990s was modified from HGH residues 176-191. This modified compound primarily works as an element for fat burning and obesity treatment, while the exact mechanism by which this happens is still under research. It stimulates the breakdown (metabolism)...

MOTS-c is a small peptide derived from mitochondrial genome. During metabolic stress, it moves to the nucleus to regulate the expression of nuclear genes, promoting cellular balance. It is co-expressed in various tissues with mitochondria, and found in plasma, though its levels decline with age. MOTS-c, discovered by researchers at the University of...

Retatrutide (LY3437943) is an innovative investigational peptide developed by Eli Lilly that functions as a triple agonist of the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors—also referred to as a GGG triagonist. This combined receptor activation results in a synergistic effect on body weight reduction through increased energy expenditure, decreased food intake,...
