Adipotide (FTPP): Exploring Its Potential in Targeted Adipose Tissue Research
Cătălin Roșioru
Adipotide, also known by its chemical designation FTPP (Fat-Targeted Proapoptotic Peptide), has emerged as a focal point in peptide-based research due to its unique mechanism that may selectively target adipose tissues. This synthetic peptidomimetic compound is designed to bind to specific receptors on blood vessels supplying white adipose tissue (WAT), potentially inducing apoptosis in these vessels and leading to the reduction of fat cells. This article delves into the hypothesized mechanisms,
