Melanotan II is a synthetic peptide originally developed in research settings to study its effects on pigmentation and appetite regulation
How peptide immunotherapy achieves tolerance The mechanisms include induction of specific T-cell anergy (functional inactivation of allergen-reactive T-cells), differentiation of naive T-cells into regulatory T-cells, immune deviation (shifting the Th2/Th1 ratio toward Th1), and allergen-specific Th2 cell deletion
GLP-1 drugs, for example, target brain neurons in the hindbrain involved in appetite control
