Peptides studied in metabolic medicine include GLP-1 analogs, MOTS-C, and others involved in mitochondrial function, appetite regulation, and immune signaling.

Based on preclinical (animal and cellular) data only, inhibition of NNMT by 5-Amino-1MQ is theorised to: Raise intracellular NAD+ levels Activate SIRT1 and other sirtuins (proteins linked to metabolic regulation) Reduce fat cell (adipocyte) size and proliferation Improve insulin sensitivity These effects have been demonstrated in mouse models (Neelakantan et al., 2019), but robust human clinical trial data are currently absent

The pediatricians participating in this study could confirm continuation, or not, into the study after the clinical laboratory results were available
GLP-1 boosts insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner (meaning it only works when blood glucose is elevated, reducing hypoglycemia risk), suppresses glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells (reducing glucose production by the liver), slows gastric emptying (prolonging satiety and reducing postprandial glucose spikes), and starts GLP-1 receptors in the brain (very the hypothalamus) to reduce appetite and food intake
