Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to treat various conditions and diseases. Peptides are signaling molecules that can have a wide range of effects on cellular functions. Some of the main uses and applications of peptide therapy include:
Wound Healing and Tissue Repair
- Certain peptides like thymosin beta-4, LL37, and ghrelin can promote tissue regeneration and healing.
- They regulate stem cell function, reduce inflammation, and stimulate blood vessel and cell growth.
- Peptide therapy is used to treat wounds, burns, skin ulcers etc. and aid faster recovery.
Anti-Aging and Healthy Aging
- Peptides like Epitalon, GHK-Cu (Copper peptide), Thymulin, and Sermorelin have demonstrated anti-aging benefits.
- They can extend lifespan in animal models and improve immunity and cellular functions with age.
- Peptide therapies are used as anti-aging treatments to promote longevity and health.
Improving Muscle Mass and Performance
- Peptides such as IGF-1, IGF-1 LR3, GHRPs, and Follistatin can enhance muscle growth, development and recovery.
- They are helpful for conditions like sarcopenia associated with aging.
- Athletes and bodybuilders often use some peptide supplements to aid muscle building and improve performance but their use may not be ethical or legal.
Cardiovascular Health
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers like Valsartan and Losartan contain peptide-like partial structures.
- They help lower high blood pressure and improve heart functions.
- Natriuretic peptides help manage fluid volume changes and control blood pressure.
Metabolic Regulation
- Peptide YY (PYY), Pancreatic Polypeptide (PP) and oxyntomodulin regulate gastrointestinal motility, food intake, and appetite control.
- They are studied as anti-obesity therapeutics.
- Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues called Incretins are a popular treatment option for type 2 diabetes as they promote insulin release.
Improving Cognitive Function
Some neuroprotective and nootropic peptides that can enhance
brain function include:
- Cerebrolysin
- Semax
- Selank
- GHK-Cu
Managing Inflammatory Conditions
Bioactive anti-inflammatory peptides like Laennec, Omega 3 peptide and lactoferrin peptide help modulate immune responses in conditions like
inflammatory bowel disease.
While there are a wide range of therapeutic uses, peptide supplements are not regulated by FDA and can have safety concerns. It's important to consult a knowledgeable physician before using any peptide therapy.
