The plain-language overview
peptide therapy for fat loss
Peptide therapy for fat loss refers to the use of specific peptides and peptide-like compounds that are being studied for their potential to influence appetite, metabolism, fat storage, body composition, energy, and recovery. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as tiny messengers in the body, helping to coordinate signals between cells, hormones and organ systems.
What it is: 5-Amino-1MQ is a small, peptide-like compound studied for its ability to inhibit an enzyme called nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in fat cells. NNMT activity is linked with how adipocytes handle energy and store fat.

Questions patients ask5-Amino-1MQ
What it is: 5-Amino-1MQ is a small, peptide-like compound studied for its ability to inhibit an enzyme called nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in fat cells. NNMT activity is linked with how adipocytes handle energy and store fat.
Adipotide
What it is: Adipotide is a synthetic compound designed to target blood vessels that supply white adipose (fat) tissue. It is sometimes referred to as a “vasculature-targeting” weight-loss research compound.
AOD-9604 (GH Fragment 176-191)
What it is: AOD-9604 is a laboratory-synthesized fragment of human growth hormone (amino acids 176-191) designed to focus on fat metabolism rather than the full spectrum of GH effects.
Cagrilintide
What it is: Cagrilintide is a long-acting analogue of amylin, a hormone co-secreted with insulin that helps regulate satiety and meal size. It is being developed specifically for chronic weight-management indications.
Semaglutide
What it is: Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally developed to support blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes and now approved in many regions for chronic weight management at higher doses.
Tirzepatide
What it is: Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved in several countries for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. It acts on two incretin pathways simultaneously.
