Melanotan II 10 MG

Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to activate melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R). It is mainly researched for its ability to induce skin pigmentation, regulate appetite, and influence sexual function, making it a subject of interest in dermatology, endocrinology, and neuroscience.

Research involving Melanotan II commonly explores:

• Its potent stimulation of melanogenesis via MC1R activation, leading to increased melanin production and skin tanning, with potential applications in photoprotection.
• Effects on sexual function and libido, as MT-II also activates central melanocortin receptors associated with sexual stimulation.
• Regulation of appetite and energy expenditure through MC3R and MC4R, contributing to studies on obesity and metabolic disorders.
• Neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties mediated through melanocortin receptor pathways, with implications in addiction, pain modulation, and neurodegenerative diseases.
• Cardiovascular effects including modulation of blood pressure and protection against myocardial injury via anti-inflammatory actions.
• Risks and safety concerns related to unregulated use, including potential melanoma development and neurological side effects.
