FTPP Adipotide is a research peptide known for its potential in targeting and reducing fat deposits. It functions as an experimental pro-apoptotic peptide, designed to selectively bind to blood vessels supplying white adipose tissue, leading to fat cell depletion. By disrupting the blood flow to fat cells, FTPP induces apoptosis (programmed cell death), causing a reduction in fat mass.
Originally investigated for its potential in obesity research, FTPP has demonstrated promising results in animal studies, where it led to significant weight loss without affecting lean muscle mass. Researchers have explored its applications in metabolic health, fat loss studies, and obesity-related conditions.
