BRINP2-Related Peptide (BRP) [∞]
1. BRINP2-Related Peptide (BRP)
Overview: A recently discovered peptide with potential anti-obesity effects.
Key Points:
- Function: BRP activates specific neurons in the brain, similar to GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists, influencing appetite regulation and metabolism.
- Research Findings: In animal studies, BRP reduced food intake by up to 50% without significant side effects commonly associated with other treatments, such as muscle loss or gastrointestinal issues.
- Potential: BRP could serve as an alternative to existing weight-loss medications like semaglutide (e.g., Ozempic), pending further research and clinical trials.

- Natural alternative to Ozempic made mice eat up to 50% less - without side effects
