What is adipotide?

Adipotide is an experimental peptide that targets the blood supply of white fat tissue, causing dramatic weight loss in primate studies through a proapoptotic mechanism, meaning it triggers cell death in the targeted blood vessels. It also caused significant kidney toxicity in that same research, which is why it has not advanced to human trials. This site's review found 2 citations, both non-human.
