Libido Peptides

Meaning

A class of small, naturally occurring or synthetic amino acid chains that function as signaling molecules within the central and peripheral nervous systems to influence sexual desire, arousal, and function. These peptides interact with specific receptors in the brain and various tissues, modulating neurotransmitter release and blood flow dynamics critical for the sexual response cycle. Clinically, certain peptides are investigated or used to address forms of sexual dysfunction related to neuroendocrine imbalances. They represent a targeted approach to enhancing libido through biochemical modulation. The small size of these molecules allows for targeted signaling.
