SLU-PP-332- Summary
- Adamax is a synthetic neuropeptide related to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathways. It is explored for cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, and mood support, with proposed mechanisms involving TrkB receptor activation and enhancement of neuroplasticity similar to endogenous BDNF.
- SLU-PP-332 is a small molecule exercise mimetic that activates estrogen-related receptors ERRalpha and ERRdelta (ERRa/d), transcription factors that drive oxidative metabolism programs. In animal studies it significantly enhanced endurance capacity and metabolic fitness without exercise, mimicking many of the cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations of aerobic training.
