Peptide Therapy Science is the clinical discipline focusing on the administration of synthetic or naturally derived oligopeptides to elicit specific, targeted physiological responses through receptor binding or intracellular signaling modulation. These molecules offer high specificity compared to traditional hormone interventions. They act as precise biological messengers.
Origin
This science is derived from advanced biochemistry and pharmaceutical research into the structure-function relationship of short protein chains used as signaling molecules in biological systems. Its application in wellness focuses on leveraging these natural regulatory mechanisms. The origin is in molecular pharmacology.
Mechanism
Peptides operate by mimicking endogenous signaling molecules, such as growth hormone secretagogues, or by antagonizing specific receptor sites. This binding initiates downstream cellular activities, such as stimulating pituitary release or modulating inflammatory cascades, providing a focused therapeutic effect.
