Semaglutide is a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA). Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone naturally secreted by the human body that plays a crucial role in blood glucose regulation.
Obesity is becoming an increasingly serious global issue, affecting not only physical health but also closely linked to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Finding safe and effective weight loss methods has been a key focus of medical research. Tizepatide is a drug that acts on dual receptors, offering a new approach to obesity treatment.
BPC-157 is a stable gastrointestinal pentapeptide initially discovered for its anti-ulcer properties. It remains stable in human gastric juice for over 24 hours, enabling it to continuously exert its effects in the gastrointestinal environment and laying the foundation for repairing gastrointestinal and joint damage.
With the continuous development of life sciences, research into the mechanisms of aging has become increasingly in-depth, and finding effective anti-aging methods has become an important topic in the scientific community. Telomeres, as protective structures at the ends of chromosomes, are closely related to cellular aging. Epitalon, a synthetic short peptide with anti-aging effects, has attracted attention in recent years.
Melanotan-2 (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide and an analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It plays a crucial role in regulating melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptors. MT-2 primarily exerts its effects by interacting with the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). MC1R is widely expressed on the surface of melanocytes. Upon binding to this receptor, MT-2 initiates a series of intracellular signaling pathways, ultimately promoting melanin synthesis and distribution, thereby causing changes in skin color.
