    Melanotan 2 and body weight

    Altered feeding and body weight following melanocortin administration to the ventral tegmental area
    2013

    RATIONALE]
    OBJECTIVE]ventral tegmental area[/url] affects feeding and body weight.

    METHODS]
    RESULTS]inhibited feeding[/u] for up to 24 hrs, while injection of SHU9119 into the VTA dose-dependently stimulated feeding for up to 24 hrs. Additionally the chronic blockade of melanocortin receptors (in the VTA) increased feeding, body weight and caloric efficiency.

    CONCLUSIONS: These studies demonstrate that melanocortins can control feeding and body weight by acting in the VTA and suggest that endogenous melanocortins control feeding through actions on the mesolimbic dopamine system. PMID:23010797.

    I am one of those people who can sometimes, not control food consumption and hence body weight. And there are a lot of people struggling with obesity nowadays. Melanotan II can be quite a good treatment for us especially for people struggling due to their weight. I hope that more researchers find this topic relevant and invest in this as this can surely change the lives of many people. Obesity is a worldwide problem and maybe, just maybe Melanotan is the help that patients need.

    Even when you are using melanotan, there is still a great need for you to control your food consumption if you want the drugs to work at its best. You should not rely everything on a drug. You should also work for it while taking this booster/supplement.

    MT-2 is loved for a lot of benefits it brings. Tanning, weight loss, healthy hair and many more. No wonder why it is very popular.

    But for obese people, they should also know how to live a healthier lifestyle and know how to follow a really strict diet. Their metabolism is really slow and if they don't know how to discipline themselves, it will all be useless.
