Is FTPP the same as adipotide?

Yes. FTPP, short for fat-targeted proapoptotic peptide (a peptide that makes cells feeding fat die off), is the full name listed on this site's adipotide page. It names the same experimental peptide, with a molecular weight of about 2,600 daltons, built to target the blood vessels that feed white fat. This site's review found two studies, both non-human. One found 7.4 to 14.7% weight loss in four weeks in obese rhesus monkeys, with kidney effects that grew with the dose. The letters are a lab description, not a study in people and not an approval.

Part of glp-1 and metabolic peptides. Semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, and the rest of the incretin and glucagon receptor family.
