Localized fat loss and other sides.

[creesy]

Have read alot of research which says melanotan can aid in fat loss locally around the injection site.

Ive been injecting in the love handle area and around the belly button and have noticed this effect (2-3 weeks of pinning 1mg Ed)

My question is is there any reason you cant or shouldnt do a subcutaneous injection on the chest/pec area?

[creesy]

Also noticed an increase in the rate facial hair grows.
In the past, 12 hours after shaving my face was still smooth.* Now after 12 hours its quite rough with facial hair.

I've never noticed any localised fat loss, but I'm quite large so may just not notice it.
Only ever read about fat loss in the form of appetite suppression, do you have sources for local loss?


As to chest and pectoral, its just less fatty. Imagine you could do it there, but it's just easier to inject into the stomach.

Ill have a look for the studys.

Most mention increased fat oxidization and insulin sensitivity.

hey creesy, are you able to cite the sources where this claim is made? news to me....

injecting mt-2 in my chest/pec area is nothing I have or would consider - slow absorb is best for potent melanotropin (that can cause extra/extreme side effect when administered to the body too fast)

Through clinical research it has been shown MT2 has excellent fat burning effects. It was previously thought that it assisted weight loss indirectly due to its appetite-reducing effect. However, it now appears that MT2 has direct fat burning effects. Strader AD et al. (2007) is a great example of the direct fat burning effect. They conducted a series of tests including one that shown MT2 treatment led to a general reduction in both visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue in high-fat-fed mice. Choi YH et al. (2003) also showed in addition to reducing food intake and inhibiting body weight gain, administration of MT2 reduces fat mass. They concluded this was most likely by accelerated lipid mobilization, but not by apoptosis (cell death).

A very interesting effect MT2 brings about is its ability to increase insulin sensitivity during researchers' trials. Heijboer AC et al (2005) studied the effects MT2 has on hepatic and whole-body insulin sensitivity. Results showed administration of MT2 increased insulin-mediated glucose disposal but did not affect the capacity of insulin to suppress EGP. MT2's acute effect on insulin sensitivity was further highlighted during studies done by the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine. Banno R et al. (2007) examined the effects MT2 had on insulin sensitivity in diet-induced obese rats. The insulin tolerance test showed that insulin sensitivity was significantly improved in the MT2 group compared to the pair-fed group. Furthermore, MT2 treatment increased the number of small-sized adipocytes in epididymal white adipose tissues, suggesting that MT2 increased insulin sensitivity through action on the white adipose tissues

Nowhere have I read mt-2 can aid in fat loss around the injection site, not even in the promotional sales newsletter cited (author does not know his head from a hole in the ground)?

Interesting facial hair observation!

Ive never lost an ounce because of MT2. I think other than tanning and the occasional woody, most of the other stuff is marketing.
