About Melanotan II
Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic analog of the peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It was originally developed as a sunless tanning agent. MT-II works by stimulating melanocortin receptors, which are involved in skin pigmentation, sexual function, appetite, and energy metabolism.
Research Notes
Research has demonstrated MT-II's effectiveness in stimulating melanogenesis. Studies have also shown effects on sexual function and appetite suppression through melanocortin receptor activation.
