Induces apoptosis in blood vessels of white adipose tissue

Summary

Adipotide is a targeted peptidomimetic agent designed to induce fat loss by selectively disrupting the vasculature of white adipose tissue. It functions by binding to prohibitin receptors on blood vessels supplying fat cells, triggering apoptosis and subsequent fat mass reduction. In preclinical trials, it has demonstrated significant reductions in body weight and improvements in insulin sensitivity. Due to its pro-apoptotic mechanism and potential renal toxicity, Adipotide is typically used in short-term cycles under clinical supervision.

How it works

  • Induces apoptosis in blood vessels of white adipose tissue
  • Targets prohibitin complexes

Dosing

  • unit: mg
    low dose: 1
    frequency: daily
    high dose: 5
    standard dose: 3
    administration route: Subcutaneous (SQ)

Cycling

  • Recommended frequency: Daily injection. Suggested cycle length: 2–4 weeks max due to potential renal and liver stress. Follow with a recovery period of at least 4–6 weeks. Avoid stacking with hepatotoxic or nephrotoxic agents during active cycle.

Side effects

common: ["Injection site reactions"]
warnings: ["Potential liver toxicity","Renal impairment"]
