Metabolic Support
What "metabolic support" means in research
In laboratory research, metabolic support refers to the study of how the body regulates energy: how it takes up and uses glucose, stores and burns fat, and signals hunger and fullness. Researchers examine pathways such as:
- incretin and glucagon receptor signalling
- insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation
- mitochondrial energy production
- growth hormone and metabolic hormone signalling
The peptides below have been examined in research for their roles in these pathways.
Peptides studied in metabolic research
- Retatrutide 20mg: a synthetic triple agonist peptide acting at GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors. Research has examined its effects on energy balance, glucose regulation and body-weight pathways in preclinical and clinical research settings.
- MOTS-c 10mg: a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA. It has been studied in cell and animal models for its role in metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity pathways and mitochondrial function.
- Ipamorelin 10mg: a synthetic, selective ghrelin-receptor agonist. Research has examined its effects on growth hormone release and downstream metabolic signalling in animal models.
