| Mechanism | PT-141 (MW ~1025 g/mol, C50H68N14O10, half-life 2-6 hours) is a synthetic analog of alpha-MSH targeting MC3R and MC4R. MC4R activation in the CNS enhances dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens and medial preoptic area, increasing sexual motivation. Subcutaneous bioavailability is approximately 1... | Kisspeptin binds to GPR54 (KISS1R) on GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus, triggering pulsatile GnRH release. This drives LH and FSH secretion from the pituitary, which increases endogenous testosterone/estrogen production. Kisspeptin works through the natural HPG axis cascade without suppressing it (u... |
