Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Melanotan II was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Melanotan II.

    In animals, blockade of the ERK signaling pathway attenuated the suppression of deprivation-induced food intake by fourth ventricular MTII injection.

    In plain wordsIn animals, blocking the ERK pathway weakened how much fourth-ventricle MTII lowered food intake.
