The post Obesity Treatment: A New Peptide Drug first appeared on LifeTein Peptide Blog.]]> Peptide Drug for Obesity An MD Anderson group designed a new peptide drug: CKGGRAKDC-GG-D(KLAKLAK)2 (adipotide). This is a synthetic peptide that triggers cell death. These data showed that the peptide might be helpful in treating obesity in humans. The MD Anderson group used a peptide library to screen and identify regions that bind to specific vascular cells. The interaction identified will be used as effective drugs to target particular protein functions. This video explains factors that have contributed to the obesity epidemic.
