Adipotide represents a novel therapeutic pathway for weight management by directly targeting adipose tissue vasculature. This peptide-based treatment selectively induces fat cell apoptosis, driving reductions in visceral fat and insulin resistance. Extensive trials in rhesus monkeys confirmed significant body fat reduction without severe adverse effects. Unlike traditional appetite suppressants, adipotide's mechanism bypasses the central nervous system, limiting common side effects. Mild renal effects observed during studies were reversible, supporting its potential as a transformative solution for obesity management.
