Adipotide

This compound is relatively new having had its first CT in the year 2012.


Adipotide is a peptide that is designed to antagonize the two receptors ANXA2 and prohibitin.

These receptors play a big role in the blood vessels supplying white fat cells, antagonizing them leads to apoptosis thus leading to fat loss.


Study done on rhesus monkeys

Both groups treated with Adipotide showed significant fat loss in comparison to the control groups.


Adipotide selectively burns visceral fat first before subcutaneous fat.

It also appears to be only effective for obese individuals, no drastic changes were noted for lean animals.
