Adipotide- Summary
- Gonadorelin is the synthetic form of endogenous GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). It stimulates the pituitary to release LH and FSH, maintaining testicular function and testosterone production. Widely used alongside TRT to prevent testicular atrophy and preserve fertility.
- Adipotide (FTPP) is a chimeric proapoptotic peptide that selectively targets and destroys blood vessels feeding white adipose tissue. It binds prohibitin on the vasculature of fat tissue, delivering a proapoptotic sequence that induces cell death in fat-specific blood vessels, causing targeted fat tissue regression.
- Half-Life
- ~2–4 minutes (extremely short); pulsatile dosing required to avoid desensitization
- Estimated 2-4 hours
- Admin Route
- SubQ, Intranasal
- Subcutaneous, Intravenous (research)

- Typical Dose
- 100 mcg
- Not established for humans; primate studies used 0.1-1 mg/kg
- Frequency
- Twice daily (every 12 hours)
- Daily for 4 weeks (research protocol)
- Key Benefits
- Maintains testicular size during TRT
- Preserves fertility and sperm production during testosterone use
- Stimulates endogenous LH/FSH production
- Maintains HPG axis function during exogenous hormone use
- Used for HCG-free TRT protocols
- Helps restart natural testosterone production (PCT)
- Targeted reduction of white adipose tissue
- Promotes fat vasculature apoptosis without systemic toxicity
- Demonstrated significant fat loss in primate studies
- Potential for visceral and subcutaneous fat reduction
- Novel non-hormonal mechanism distinct from GLP-1 agonists
- Explored for obesity and metabolic syndrome
